Possible to en/disable certain services per user profile?

I have 2 user accounts, both with full admin privileges. Is it possible
to completely have a service disabled including on boot for one user
while it is enabled on boot for another user?

One profile I use for gaming and one for everyday use, and I am trying
to shut down certain services on the gaming profile to free up memory.
For example, the Themes service.

When I shut it off on the games profile it was also disabled on the
reboot of my regular profile.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
I don't think that's possible, but you can use the "net stop <servicename>"
command in a logon script to stop the services you don't want running.

Of course, you'll need the NET START <servicename> in the other profile logon process.
 
That makes sense :-) Thanks for the correction.
