I have a services running in MSConfig/Services that I want to stop.
But after unchecking the box for the service, and restarting the
system, it still says "running". What do I need to do to stop this
service?

Thanks for any advice.

You may be able to eliminate some unnecessary services

Services Startup Type Descriptions:
Disabled - This service will never start.
Manual - May be started when needed by an application or another service.
Automatic - Started when Windows boots.

Important: For more info on what services are needed or which can be stopped
see:
http://www.beemerworld.com/tips/servicesxp.htm
Also some services are dependent on others, that is to say a specific
service can not start unless another service is already running.
This will shown as Dependencies.

To stop a service:
Click: start | run and enter: services.msc
Scroll down to the service of interest.
Right click and select properties
Click on the 'General' tab
Set the 'Startup Type' to 'Disabled' if you do not want the service to
start.

1. What is the name of the mystery service?
2. Don't stop services in msconfig; use services.msc instead.

CharlieC,

MSCONFIG, in my opinion, is the last thing to use. It was bad in
Windows ME, it is little better in XP, and almost worse in Vista.

There are many bad, good, very good, and excellent alternatives to
MSCONFIG which are more user-friendly.

I personally use The Ultimate Troubleshooter from AnswersThatWork.com
which is in the excellent category for me. One you've used it once
you won't be able to do without it - as simple as that. Go to their
website and click on the boxshot in the left corner.

Thanks JS,

I followed your instructions and using services.msc, I tried to set a
program to Manual (Webroot Spy Sweeper Engine). I get the message
"Access Denied" - not sure why and what I need to do to gain access?

Thanks for any insights you can provide.

Karl,

As I said, I'm getting constant hourglass activity and screen
flickering every minute or so and need to determine what program is
causing this. Will the Ultimate Troubleshooter help me isolate this
program? I've tried Process Explorer, but am have problems trying to
determine which program and whether I can safely disable it.

Thanks

In this article, in My Computer, you need to click Tools/File

there is no Security Tab? So could not go any further.

Ok, JS,

I looked at the site for "How to see the Securith Tab in XP Home", and
was concerned about the warning they have it in, see below:

WARNING: Adjusting the permissions on a drive, file or folder can
lock even the Administrator account out of that drive/file/folder.
Deny Permissions take precedence over Allow Permissions, regardless of
your group membership. Administrators are members of the User's
group, by default. Uncheck Allow, rather than using Deny.
after reading through it, was wondering about the

Is there a danger in using this? Have you used it and if so, how did
it work?

Thanks
Charliec
