System Sluggish? Check your Services

If your NT system is running a little sluggish, you may want to check and see if you have unneeded services running.

Click on the "Start" button, choosing "Settings," and then "Control Panel." Double-click the "Services" icon, and look at the list of services.

From the "Services" menu, you have many options including shutting down services temporarily or forcing them outright to never start up again. It is recommended, when attempting to disable services that you are unsure about it, to only temporarily disable such services at first and examine how NT reacts. Then, force the service to run manually instead of automatically, and if all goes well after a testing period, outright disable such service.
