Eliminating+Unnecessary+Windows+7+Services

Like every version of Windows before it, Windows 7 installs by default with numerous services active in memory. These services consume RAM and CPU cycles, and many of them are unnecessary for home and small business users. They just slow down your system. There are a number of services you can turn off safely if you do not use them. Here is how:- Click Start and in the search box type "**__ services.msc" __**and then hit Enter. (Note: you should not use the Microsoft System Configuration Utility ("msconfig.exe") for this process; it only enables/disables the starting of a service at logon. Going down the lengthy list of services, here are many that the average home or small business user does not need:
 * Eliminating Unnecessary Windows 7 Services**
 * __Services.msc__** gives you more control over how a service behaves.)
 * Application Experience
 * Error Reporting Service
 * Desktop Window Manager Session Manager (only needed with Aero)
 * Diagnostic Policy Service
 * IP Helper
 * Offline Files
 * Portable Device Enumerator Service
 * Distributed Link Tracking Client
 * Protected Storage
 * Secondary Logon
 * Server (If your computer does not connect with any network)
 * [|Tablet PC] Input Service
 * Themes
 * TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
 * Windows Media Centre Service Launcher
 * Windows Search
 * Remote Registry
 * Windows Time
 * Windows firewall (most high-speed routers have a firewall built in)

Disable a service by un-checking the box to its left. When in doubt, leave a service on. Reboot after clicking OK to save your changes. If Windows tells you it needs a service in order to complete a task, just run the **services.msc** program and enable the service again
