war59312 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I believe your asking if there are any issues disabling services using msconfig?In that case, none that I know of. Though I still recommend you just use services.msc as that is what it's made for and of course has way more options with working with services.

Zxian Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 @war59312 - There is one big one - using msconfig you can disable the Remote Procedure Call service - doing that would essentially kill your system!So... short answer - don't ever disable services using msconfig. I don't recommend disabling services in general, since there's no real benefit and a whole lot of downsides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
os2fan2 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 This is from Blkviper's guide to Windows services.Why can't I use msconfig to change my services?The reason is because with msconfig, you can disable a service that is vital to boot your system - Remote Procedure Call. With the management console (services.msc) you cannot.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.
