Having a subscription to PCWorld affords many new ideas to explore. One that
I have yet to jump into is deciding or getting recommendations on the
services which automatically load at startup. PCWorld states there are
services that can be "turned off or disabled" for this reason, "If the
service is not necessary, why load it at startup?" Turn it off or disable the
service to conserve memory.
Is my logic correct?
I have been asked by my father if there are services which can be disabled
otr turned off, meaning the service is not loaded at startup. He is seeing
stability issues.
I have checked ,msconfig for programs which are unnecessary TSR (terminate
and stay resident). Now I need to look into finding out which services can be
turned off at startup.
I doubt it being so simple as to turn off all programs in MSCONFIG, except
explorer and systray;
Recommendations/advice anyone?
I fully expect any Microsoft techs to tell me not to turn off any services?
