I frequently have to tweak and optimize the operating systems that I work with. And one of the things that I do as part of my check list is to disabled unnecessary services that are safe to do so which won’t impact usability of the desktop.

The lists of services which are to be disabled was taken from Black Viper’s resourceful website.

Save the following as a batch file and run it.
