    SMART 2.0 - freeware.

    Fast and easy way to implement BlackViper services tweaks.
    Worked great here! Remember to backup before apply changes.

    " We are pleased to release SMART (Service Management And RealEasy Tweaking) Utility for Windows 7. SMART is a freeware utility which helps you tweak Windows 7 Services, based on the suggested configurations of BlackVipers.

    UPDATE 6th March 2010: SMART (Service Management And RealEasy Tweaking) Utility for Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP has been updated to v 2.0.
    It can simply be downloaded and used as a portable application to customize your Windows services settings, to meet your requirements. With judicious tweaking, it can make your system faster, as you will be disabling services which you do not require.

    Tweaking a system has to be done carefully, and more so in the cases of Services. A Windows service is a long running executable that performs specific functions and which is designed not to require user intervention. Windows services can be configured to start when the operating system is booted and run in the background as long as Windows is running, or they can be started manually when required.
    You can always tweak your services manually individually, but what this utility does is automate the entire process to give you the desired settings.

    Based on the recommendations of the BlackVipers Service Configuration Guide, the utility offers 3 sets of pre- configured tweaks :
    1. Safe
    2. Tweaked
    3. Advanced or BareBones

    The utility has set the Presets to check for Service before applying Tweak. There is also a button to re-set services to Windows Default Settings.
    Quick Rundown of Operations:
    1. Click a Service to get additional information about it.
    2. Double-Click a Service to Automatically Start or Stop it.
    3. Right-Click a Service to View and set StartUp Options (Automatic, Manual & Disabled).
    4. Select a Service and Click Open File Location to Locate Service Executable (Does not work on svchost, so if you happen to click a svchost and it opens up your Documents Folder, don’t be alarmed.).
    5. Click Refresh To reload the list of Services.
    6. Click a preset (Default, Safe, Tweaked, Advanced/BareBones), to set preconfigured Tweaks.
    7. The Safe setting is (you guessed it!) safe! Tweak and Advanced settings, are for Advanced users to set their Services.

    It has been tested on Windows 7 32Bit and 64Bit, Windows Vista SP2 32Bit and 64Bit, Windows XP SP3 ,32Bit and 64Bit. "
