Use hardware profiles to experiment with system settings.
If you'd like to experiment with disabling various services to increase performance, but are afraid of changing your original configuration too drastically, consider using 'hardware profiles'.
Right click on 'my computer' and select 'properties' then choose the 'hardware' tab and hit the 'hardware profiles' button.
If you have not used profiles before, you should only have 'profile 1 (current)' listed in the window. This is the default profile, or your current settings.
Now click 'copy' to create a duplicate profile and name the new profile as you wish. Once you have created your profile, highlight it and hit 'properties.' Check the 'always include this profile as an option' box.
Now reboot the PC and you will be prompted to select a profile. Choose your new one.You can now configure services within your new profile. These changes will take effect only when this profile is loaded.
