We have posted service guides for Windows XP and Vista in past and now
its turn of Windows 7. In this tutorial we'll learn about the services
which are not essential and can be safely set to MANUAL to speed up
your system:

1. Right-click on Computer icon on desktop and select Manage, it'll
open a new window. Now go to Services & Applications -> Services. You
can also open the same from Administrative Tools -> Computer
Management. Or you can directly open "Services" list by providing
services.msc command in RUN or Startmenu search box.



2. Now you can set the unnecessary services to DISABLED or MANUAL.
Just double-click on any service and select the desired option in
Startup type list box.

NOTE: Always set the service to MANUAL, never disable it, so that
whenever Windows needs to start a service it can easily start and use
it. If you set any service to DISABLED, Windows will not be able to
start it and will give some error messages.

Here is a list of services that can be safely set to MANUAL:

Application Experience
Computer Browser (If your computer is not connected to any network)
Desktop Window Manager Session Manager (If you don't use Aero theme)
Diagnostic Policy Service
Distributed Link Tracking Client
IP Helper
Offline Files
Portable Device Enumerator Service
Print Spooler (If you don't have Printer)
Protected Storage
Remote Registry (Always disable it for Security purposes)
Secondary Logon
Security Center
Server (If your computer is not connected to any network)
Tablet PC Input Service
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Themes ( If you use Windows Classic theme)
Windows Error Reporting Service
Windows Media Center Service Launcher
Windows Search (If you don't use Windows Search feature frequently)
Windows Time (If you don't want to update system tray clock time using
Internet)
PS: You can see the details of each service to determine whether you
should disable it or not.
