Unnecessary services to disable?

I have been doing some optimizations to my system, and I am at the point to where all I need to do is disable some unnecessary services.I mainly use my PC for gaming and surfing the internet. I have a decent system, I'm just trying to squeeze as much out
of it as i can without disabling important things.( e.g. Services like Superfetch.) I understand that some services should be set to manual to avoid problems and still get a resource gain. My question is: What are some or all unneeded services that are
safe to set to manual or disable? Please specify whether to disable or set to manual.
Extra info:
Computer type= Desktop
OS= Windows 7 home premium
Already altered services=
set windows search service to disabled.
set print spooler service to manual.
set remote registry service to disabled.
set windows error reporting service from manual to disabled.
set tablet PC input service from manual to disabled.
set Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service from auto to disabled.
set parental control service from manual to disabled.
set Bluetooth service to disabled.

How to turn your computer into a Virtual (Personal)Router.
Our hotel the Grand Oasis Cancun provided internet for only 36 hours and you could only use it on one device which comes to my next option as using your Laptop as a Personal Router to broadcast WiFi to any devices near your computer. Our room was on the Second level of the Pyramid at Grand Oasis and I was able to access it while at the VIP lounge below our room. Before our supposedly free internet service ended.
I attempted using the hotel next door since I was getting a good signal from the Omni Hotel. They offered complimentary 24hr internet access using your browser as a way to track your use. Once you find the signal of the Omni it will open your browser I used Google Chrome, after it opens you go threw a few simple steps and your ready.
I learned that after the 24 hours are up all you have to do is disconnect from their network, just run Ccleaner(free program) then find the Signal of the hotel and you will be given another 24 hours. What Ccleaner(<--download there) does is clears anything attached to your browser ie cookies temp files etc. it cleans your browser history giving you a way of not paying for the hotel fee of internet and giving you free WiFi. this is only if you are next to the Omni hotel :).
What you need to download to turn your computer into a hotspot need to say is this little easy to use program Virtual Router. Once it has download test at your home to make sure it works with you devices. This will work with Tablets, Phones and other computers that cant find the Omni WiFi signal. Your welcome. To use it, is simple. Open program>make a password>select WiFi and start VR.

How do I access router setup page if the router DHCP service is disabled?

When I had DSL, my WRT54G was my DHCP master for my home network. When I got AT&T U-Verse, their "gateway" became the DHCP master and also the wireless access point. But the signal was not strong enough where I wanted to use it, so I hooked up the WRT54G again. I discovered that if I connected the U-Verse gateway to the "Internet" port on the WRT54G Linksys, then my home network was split in two, which I did not want. The WRT54G access point is physically somewhat distant from my wired computer, so I wanted to keep the U-Verse gateway as the DHCP master. (The U-Verse gateway is a router with four "computer" ports but no "Internet" port.)
I followed instructions on the Linksys web site, and using my wi-fi connected computer I re-programmed the WRT54G to be "Disabled" as a DHCP server. Then I powered down and physically connected the U-Verse gateway to a "Computer" port on the WRT54G. This solved my problem: my distant wi-fi computer now has a good signal, and both computers "see" each other.
However, now I seem to have lost access to the WRT54G setup "web page." Is it possible to access the innards of the WRT54G when its DHCP service is disabled? Or would I have to reset the device to factory configuration and start all over if I wanted to make any tweaks?

You can still access the router's web configuration pages even if the internal DHCP server is disabled and it is connected via a LAN Ethernet port to your upstream router.
Did you reserve and IP addresses on the Uverse router for static IPs?
If you did, assign one of these to the Linksys router (LAN) and you will be able to access it from your LAN. Since you are not using the WAN port, the Linksys router will not pull an IP from the Uverse router. You are using the device as a switch.

Reporting Service option disabled on Connect-Object Explorer Management Studio Express

Hi,
I have Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.2100.60 with Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012 installed on Windows 8 ver 6.3
I try to connect to a Reporting Services on my network, but when I click Connect on Object Explorer left panel, I can see Database, and Azure enabled, but Reporting Services, Integration Services and Analysis Service disabled.
Why it is happening this?
Thank you,
Joseph - Madrid

Hi Joseph – Madrid,
Based on my understanding, you want to connect to the reporting services in SSMSE. However, when you click Connect button on Object Explorer pane, Reporting Services, Integration Services and Analysis Service are disabled.
SSMSE cannot manage Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services. Since you install SSMSE in your environment, the result is expected. Please refer to Features in SSMSE section of this article:
SQL Server Management Studio Express.
In your scenario, since you want to manage reporting services in SSMS, I would recommend you download and install Express with Advanced Services from this link:
Express with Advanced Services. When downloading, please choose ENU\x64\SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe. Or you can install other edition of SQL Server 2012 except Express edition.
Reference:
Install Reporting Services Native Mode Report Server (SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Only One domain controller, Remote Registry service keeps DISABLING itself. Where in the registry could this be set?

This is killing my remote management. I have 4 server 2012R2 domain controllers. Only one of them is being affected with this problem. Almost everytime I check, the remote registry service is disabled again. It seems like there is a corrupt
group policy preference that keeps on attacking during a policy refresh, but I can't imagine setting a group policy to disable this service. It is needed for our remote management. Also the IP Tunnel service is also disabling. Another strange
artifact is that when I set a Windows Firewall policy to add an exception for remote administration in a group policy to my Admin workstation, it seemed to set a firewall rule in other computers to block remote administration. I can not figure out where
else this strange Windows Firewall rule Blocking remote administration could have come from. These may be related or they may not, but they are occuring on the same domain controller. I am able to set the RemoteRegistry service to enabled and to
start it (which I have done too many times now), but it constantly is being changed back to disabled. I am searching the registry to find any invalid entries or artifacts that may be affecting these two annoying effects, but I cannot find anything yet.
Any ideas? I need to know what policies will disable the remoteregistry service OR the IPTunelling service, or where in the registry this could be set to enact this during a policy refresh. Of course, any other ideas are welcome, I have spent
several days troubleshooting this, and need to conquer this by tomorrow if possible, thank you. James

Hi,
Please type
services.msc in RUN to open Services panel, navigate to the Remote Registry service. Then open its Properties and set
Startup type: Automatic. Then please check if this issue still exist.
In addition, please refer to mlippold’s suggestion (the last reply) in following thread and configure relevant
value in RemoteRegistry registry key, then check if can help you to solve this issue.
For registry items, please back up all registry items before all operations. That will help us to avoid some unexpected issue.
Remote
Registry Service stops automatically if we do not use it above 10 minutes
By the way, did you open Event Viewer and check if find any relevant errors?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

FLEXnet Licensing Service being disabled

Hi all,
I have been experiencing an issue where a users FLEXnet Licensing Service becomes disabled. I have re-enabled the service as both Automatic and Manual, it holds for a day or two then the service becomes disabled and the user cannot open and of their CS apps.

The Flexnet Licensing service is used by most Adobe products to prevent piracy. When you mess with it, you are asking for trouble. Restore it to its origial state.

My ipod touch was stolen. I installed mobile me but never had to use it. When I try to locate it it just comes back saying "location services are disabled". Does that mean that whoever has it has disabled the service or that they havent connected to wifi?

My car was broken into and my ipod touch was stolen. I installed the mobile me but have never had to use it. They renamed the ipod because when I sign in it says it is someone elses ipod...grrrrr!!!! It says location services are disabled. Does this mean that have turned off the locator settings or that they havent connected to wifi? I have been trying to locate it for 2 weeks now. Time to give up? Any info you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

They've probably restored it by now and when that happens, any email accounts/mobileme accounts that were on it are not there anymore.
I hate to say it, but you're most likely SOL.

The application information service is disabled

Can't Access Administrative Services after "Disable Workspace Login"

Hi,
I have been testing a production configuration on my local APEX instance, and run into the following difficultly. I disabled the Workspace Login from

Hi Scott, jeeze.... that was quick! Must be the time difference :)
Must have submitted that post by accident, I was just swearing at my pc and typing it out again.
What I was trying to say was that I disabled the Workspace Login from Admin Services > Manage Service > Security.
When I attempted to login as the internal workspace, I get a 404.
Then, I though this must be the whole point of the apex_admin interface and attempted to log in via:
http://localhost:7777/pls/htmldb/apex_admin
Still the 404.
I have checked the access logs, and a 302 is generated before each 404.
I have also executed the following (as per instructions for reverting from a 'Disable Administrator Login") - just to be sure:
alter session set current_schema=flows_030100
BEGIN
WWV_FLOW_API.SET_SECURITY_GROUP_ID(p_security_group_id=>10);
WWV_FLOW_PLATFORM.SET_PREFERENCE(
p_preference_name => 'DISABLE_ADMIN_LOGIN',
p_preference_value => 'N' );
end;
commit
Following a restart of both the db and http server, Im still getting the 404.

Fatal Error while updating core software, BB services Remain Disable .....

been using 8330 curve since 6 months, now can't live without my mails on handheld,
certainly push mail and features Iam back to life and business.
but i've a bug report, this hapened twice in two days giving me hours of mail interupptions, thank god it was weekend.
everytime i connect to Desktop Manager(latest version), I get prompt for available updates.
when i start installing it, it fails with a fatal error
I noticed the desktop manager while trying to update the core software turned radio and services off (during backup i think)
but upon fail it didn't revived the service.
Contacted my Operator and they suggested a Hard Reboot, did it many times, phone worked but without BB services,
after many battery pulls sent services books again from myoperator.blackberry....
contact my operator and they suggested hard reboot everytime, or doubted it to be a network outage while it was a bug.
After 8 hours i tried the soft reboot using key combination and WOW it worked. The BB services got restored and mails started coming again.
Iam sure the issue can be replicated and there should be some option available in DM, or update software to re-connect the BB services when a update fails as its very frustrating to get off your mail box and operator may take hours before they figure out what the case.
tech details of my soft.
BB 8330 (CDMA)
v4.5.0.66 (platform 3.2.0.48)
Desktop manager 4.7 with media manager.
If there's a place to submit a bug report or a enhancement request i've a few more things to suggest.
Thanks,

check in control panel- add/remove programs.... check if you see Blackberry device software 4.5.x.x
if you dont, this means your carrier is pushing the update to you through the internet
to do this manually, what I would do is download the latest 4.5.0.x software from your carriers site, install it to windows
then dont use deaktop manager, go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
run loader.exe and install the update that way
