services.msc – How does it work?

by roxforums . Updated 16 years, 2 months ago

We all know what services.msc is and what it does. I was wondering if anyone could give me more insight into how it works. I am interested in questions such as, if there are multiple user accounts on Windows XP box, will each account have a different set of services on their services.msc?

Imagine a situation where a certain software is used on a machine sometimes. The software must be loaded at startup and slows down the system terribly. Is it possible to restrict the loading of that software during startup in such a way that it is only loaded on a particular user account and not on every user account there is?
