Exploiting services in Windows 2000, XP, 2003 improves productivity

Windows (Services) services are one of the core components of every application on Windows. With proper use (closing - interrupting or pausing) will help you exploit Windows most effectively. In addition, understanding these services will help you optimize Windows, enhance security and minimize viruses when unnecessary services are removed.

The potential risks of computer attacks are often in the absence of a certain part of Windows that you unconsciously let the system run itself. Moreover, the system may be more burdensome when having to "brace yourself" to launch these services. To access the Services from Start, select> Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Right-click on each service and select Properties , select General > Startup Type will have 3 options:

1. Automatic (Will start automatically by default Windows).
2. Manual is used in case you configure yourself to run or not run regardless of the default Windows configuration.
3. Disabled to close the service when you do not need this service.

Also in the General tab, there are Start - Stop - Pause - Resume options that help you decide whether to start or stop but you have to be aware that when you do not select the Startup Type above, these functions only work during the session. The current work of Windows after which you restart the system returns to its original state so when you decide to stop or start the service you have to select Startup Type.
