How does one remove a service using services.msc in WinXP Pro, or any other Windows OS for that matter? I see no direct option to accomplish this... |

@jwesleycooper , I don't know if you know what you are doing or why you wish to do something with your services ; so at least take heed of the intro from this geek :- http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm Take extra care , Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done.

U can get to services via Control Panel>Administrative Tools. U can tinker with services but as @Anthony correctly points out be a bit careful. The important bit is the default Windows set up. Some services are set at disable or Manual or Automatic by default. If U wish to tinker I would note the setting before U start so U can reverse any changes if they go pear shaped. There is a detailed explanation by each service & I am assume they are all currently set at default so U do get a very good idea of each service use. Perhaps teaching "granny to suck eggs" if U are an experienced user but if not please use caution. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |
