Vista Services

Posted: 12-04-2006, 12:12 AM
Does anyone know where we can find good descriptions of the different Vista
services? I've always been a big fan of disabling everything I don't need
in the name of performance.

1) Task Manager lists the services on the services tab in Vista.

2) Type services.msc in run box and using the list of services, click the
service and you'll get a description of services.

3) There is a list here of the default services and a description>>click
"default settings for services" in the left pane.

4) To view service dependencies
1.
Open Services.

2.
In the details pane, right-click the service that you want to view
dependencies for, and then click Properties.

3.
Click the Dependencies tab.

4.
To view services that are associated dependencies of the selected service,
in the list on the Dependencies tab, click the plus sign next to the
service.

Many of the services but not all in Vista are the same as in XP, so in that
context:

Good luck,

Come on Chad, give it up. MVP's aren't all that bad.
