Re: MSCONFIG/Services?

No, my housemate uses the computer, but there is only one account -
there is no signing off/signing on.

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

JS,
I reviewed the articles you listed, but don't have some of the Tabs
they are looking for. See comments below:

In this article, in My Computer, you need to click Tools/File
Options/View Tab - under Advance Settings, clear the Use simple file
sharing option - but that option is not listed? - So I could not go
any further.

Shared folder access:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sdperms.htm

Also read this MS KB article about how to take ownership of files.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421

Following this article's instructions, it indicated to right click on
the folder and click Properties - the click the Security Tab - but
there is no Security Tab? So could not go any further.

There is also a utility named: Unlocker
I have not used it but it has been mentioned a number of times.

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.

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:

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.

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.
