In search for ultimate performance one should disable or at least shutdown a plentitude of background services. A lot of good information about unnecessary ones is available here and there, but... What if you need your rig for general use too? Recently I wanted to remotely adjust a friend's computer, but i couldn't due to gaming oriented disabled services.
Now, if someone capable enough could do a couple of scripts and a bunch of hints how to modify them at will, I would be very grateful. As you might guess, one script would shutdown and/or disable all unnecessary services and another would start them again. I know how to start/stop them, but not how to disable or enable. Another thing I don't know about batch files or scripts is, if I don't have a certain service, would a script referring to such an inexistance cause problems.
I have made one script when a soundcard driver caused my print spooler not to start automatically. It was a very simple one with just two lines:
@echo off
@net start spooler
The "real name" of each service for such "net start/net stop" batches can be found in the properties of each service, so it wouldn't be a big job to make a decent script to stop the resource hogs before gaming, but some of them tend to restart automatically, so they should be temporarily disabled too. I know someone can do that and knows all the caveats within, so please :pray
I'm running XP pro, but I guess there would be many thankful users for XP Home and Vista orientated batch files,too. Thank you in advance!

User profiles would work just as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't disabled services stay disabled for all users?
