I'm looking for an application that would let you automatically set which "services" start with windows. For example, one guy maintains a list of the various services that autostart with windows and whether they're needed and he specifies several sample configurations ranging from "safe" to "super tweak" based on how many unnecessary services you disable.

What I was thinking would be extremely useful would be a utility that would automate this process. You could select, for example, "super tweak" and hit apply and it would configure windows service options for you. That would be an awesome utility for the pctech to have available as it would enable quickly improving the users resources, particularly good for users who's systems have low RAM and who are experiencing bottlenecks. I'm sure someone with some programming knowledge could make such a utility. If anyone knows where I could get something like that please let me know! : )

Thanks!:)

The Windows 2000 Resource Kit Utility Service Controller Tool, Sc.exe, does what you want. And can run remotely.

Just create a batch file with the commands that you want. Everybody wants something different and there is no standard set of required services settings.
