Black Viper's site is what I've used since XP to determine what services I can safely disable.
While YMMV, I've yet to have anything I've disabled due to his info cause any problem on my computers but you do need to know what role your machine has before you go fiddling with them.
And naturally make a backup before you start fiddling.-4wd (February 25, 2013, 10:28 PM)
Oh my God. i have to take a look-Contro (February 26, 2013, 07:50 AM)
not sure if that's positive or negative
"you do need to know what role your machine has before you go fiddling with them" <= is important. If the role of the machine changes, you may have to re-enable services. So, if you do change things, keep a good record of what you change!-tomos (February 26, 2013, 08:02 AM)

You may be talking about something like Fix-it Utilities. It will automatically disable (if you choose) a bunch of background task and services, plus give you the choice of adding others to the list. It will set itself to run on every boot-up, but you can remove it from auto-starting.-Tinman57 (February 25, 2013, 08:15 PM)
I think what Contro wants is an application that automatically tells him which services are un-necessary and disables them. I don't think such an app exists because each person/computer has different needs. Contro, there are many guides on the internet that describe what you want to do. However, you're going to have to be the one that decides whether or not to turn off a given service.

If you want to check upon a service in irregular intervals and decide to restart it if it's not running, then you can use NirSoft's ServiWin. Run it when you need to do a check, and restart the service that was stopped or paused.
If you need a service (or application) to stay up and running 99.99% of the time, then use KeepUpApp. It will (re)start the service or application, and optionally un-pause a service that gets paused, if you set the corresponding checkbox.
KeepUpApp is not for beginners or computer-illiterates, they usually won't need the functions provided by KeepUpApp.-Ath (February 24, 2013, 01:38 PM)
