| 488382 | 2006-09-30 21:09:00 | On the Major Geeks site it says: "Do not use msconfig to disable services. Type in the Run box "services.msc" instead!" What is wrong with using msconfig? Reference: majorgeeks.com |

The reason is because with msconfig and Hardware Profiles, you can disable services that may be vital to boot your system . With the management console (services . msc) you cannot . Also, msconfig, while unchecking the box, is disabling the service . The "Disable All" button also scares me . It should not even be there as no reason exists to justify disabling "everything . " Not "allowing" people to use msconfig reduces the flames and technical support questions in my inbox from people that fail to read the descriptions I offer with each service and the warnings I attach to them . |
