Set Windows Services To Default Startup:

This will set the Windows services to their default startup state. Special thanks to http://www.blackviper.com/ for having all the default information handy.

This will set the services startup by the "sc config" command and not by the registry.


Below information & instructions on how the user can modify the start-up state of a Service using Windows Repair.

Most Services are set to one of three states:
- "Auto" (Service will be run upon start up)
- "Disabled" (Service won't run upon start up)
- "Demand" (Service will be started & run when needed)

The default start-up-states of the Services can be found in the following files in the "files" subfolder:
Windows XP:      services_start_xp.txt
Windows Vista:  services_start_vista.txt
Windows 7:        services_start_7.txt
Windows 8:        services_start_8.txt
Windows 8.1:     services_start_8.1.txt


The default state for the Service called "WSearch" is "Auto". If the user wants to disable this Service in Windows 7 then the user must open the file "services_start_7.txt" with a text editor and change the line from this:

     "sc config WSearch start= auto"

to this:

    "sc config WSearch start= disabled".

(Including all spaces). Save the text file. The next time this repair is run, the start up state will be changed appropriately.
