Windows Services

Hey all,

This is my question: is it possible to have different windows services set as enabled/disabled depending on which windows login you use?

When I hop on my computer for gaming (and only gaming) I have found that I can improve performance dramatically if I terminate multiple windows services. However, as many of the services I disable are related to security I have to reboot or re-enable them before browsing the web or any other number of tasks. I was wondering if there was a way to link a particular service profile with a particular login account to make this less laborsome. If anyone has alternative ideas for how to accomplish the same goal I'm open it.

ps. i know disabling services is risky buisness, no need to reiterate.

There is a program which temporarily closes unnecessary windows services, Game Booster, though I am not sure if this is what you are looking for

Well if you have Windows XP you can go to Start >> Run >> services.msc, then right click the service >> Options >> Log On tab and on the bottom you will see "You can enable or disable this service for the hardware profile listed below".

Problem is, Vista and Windows 7 don't have hardware profiles anymore. Not sure if this would help anyway.
