Performance maximization
'Ello, I use msconfig to stop any start up programs and services that I don't need to max the performance of my laptop, I don't like pointless things running that do nothing for me. The start up list is easy, the services are not so easy. Heres a list of all the stuff running on my services, Any ideas on what I can safely disable?
The ones with a star are running service, the rest are stopped but not disabled completely like I have done with iTunes stuff:
