Manage Windows Services
Windows XP has some triggers inside it to make some programs and services run when start-up. One of Windows XP triggers is Windows Service. Windows Service gives you some outstanding facility to make Windows XP run some important items when start-up. And you can manage them easily, to enable or disable them. By default, Windows XP provides some Service but unfortunately, you don’t need them all. So, I want write how to manage them.
This is the way to manage them:
1. Open Windows Service console first, by click Start – Control Panel,
click Administrative Tools,
then click Services icon inside Administrative Tools window.
2. To manage a service, double click on your service which you want to manage. In this case, I want to manage the Messenger service.
3. Now, you can look the Messenger service Properties.
4. You can make it run Automatic, Manual, Disabled mode. Automatic means the service run on start-up automatically; Manual means the service doesn’t run on start-up but you can start the service directly; Disabled means the service is disabled and you can’t start it. You can set it on its combo box.
5. If you want to start the service, just click Start button, or Stop button to stop the service.
You can do the same way to others services.
