application go get full service control

[John Jay Smith]

some services start without you being loged in, and some start after you are
logged in.

also some services start with different prioties (if im not mistaken)

Is there an application with a gui that I can use to change these parameters
of the services?

I want to have total control over them..

thanks

It depends on what control you want, but the built in application that
microsoft provides is located:
Start -> Run -> Control (Enter Button)
Click Administrative Tools
Click Services
This will give you all the services that load up on your computer so you can
disable or run on startup.

If this is not what you are looking for you can try this alternative..
goto www.sysinternals.com
click on the left - Processes & Threads
Autoruns program is a good application to use for a situation like that.

of course I know this.. thanks though for your reply

I need a more advanced 3rd party tool if one exists....

As far as I know there are no programs that completely give you control over
how services start up.

Aside from running the windows services program (services.msc from the run
dialog or Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services), you
could download the Windows XP Resource Kit from
http://www.petri.co.il/download_windows_xp_reskit_tools.htm. Install the
program. Run it from the start menu (it is a command line tool) and run the
sc.exe program. This will give you a little more control than the normal
services program.
