Some of these services are installed by default, while others are optional and need to be add into the system and enabled. Before you enable any service, you need to understand that you're committing resources from your computer (such as CPU time, RAM, and hard drive storage) in order for it to run.
If you enable too many of these services you can slow down your computer and get no tangable benefit. So you need to use discretion when deciding which services you want to enable.
The steps below describe how to add a new service to your system.
Note: The features and services that are available to be installed will vary based on the Windows Vista edition that you're running (i.e.: Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate, etc.).
- From the Start menu click the Control Panel folder , double-click 'Programs and Features'
- Click 'Turn Windows features on or off' link in the left hand pane.
- Select the check box beside the feature you want to enable.
- Press the OK button.
If you need to disable a specific service you can also use the Services console to perform this action.
