Well I gave it a try and it worked just like I needed. I was hoping for a runtime solution but this is just as great. As a summary: Allow a user to specify which services load depending on which user is logged in. While this wasn't the solution, Adding a profile allows the system to prompt user with a selection at startup (or reboot). This will load services for all users depending on your selection. Combing this with msconfig or spybot's startup tool, you can log into one user with a certain profile and have almost no services or startup apps loaded, then reboot and select the second profile and log into the other user with all service started and full startup apps. It's nice for gamers who want a super slim windows enviroment sometimes, but need all the junk running for work or normal usage.

I'll give it a shot, it seems like that might be what I wanted.

I want to load certain services by which user is logged in. Is there an app or batch file someone has that will do this? Basically, my laptop is for development, so I have Databases, CVS, IIS, ASP.NET and all sorts of network crap running in the background. I have a user I created for playing Warcraft , but when I log in with this user I want the services to be turned off to save resources. Anyone have any other idea besides dual boot?

I Have a Toshiba 2.5 harddrive (40 gig MK4018GAP USB Device) in a USB 2.0 External case (storage box ATN-251). The drive works most of the time but often gives me a delayed write failed error in the middle of reading and writing files. I've checked out the following with no change: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=330174 http://computing.net/cgi-bin/AT-search.cgi...P&sp=sp&x=0&y=0 I also updated my chipset drivers tot he latest. I've also tried plugging it into a USB 1.0 and 2.0 slot and still I get these errors all the time. Has anyone else had this issue? I have windows set for no cache on the profile setting.
