Right There. People go there without any knowledge of services and their dependancies, so they go to QV.. Sounds good, only problem is HE doesnt know the services either. All he did was copy the definitions of the services right out of the description panel in the services applet, then guessed his way around, disabling needed services without understanding them himself, but hey, they get you an extra 2 fps and another 3 3dmarks! :roll:
If I wasn't so tired, I'd dig up the hardforum post about the kid who disabled services, couldn't defrag or access disk management, then FORMATTED, REINSTALLED AND DISABLED THE SERVICE AGAIN 3 TIMES IN A ROW it took him 3 times to figure out that disabling the RPC service a la Quack Viper wasn;t such a good idea after all.
