從登錄檔修改服務啟動的類型

http://janochen.blogspot.com/2008/01/blog-post.html

以下內容的測試環境是 WindowsXP SP3RC1(在 VirtualPC 2007 所建構的 VM 之中)，提到的“服務”指的是 Windows 內建的 service，一種在背景執行的特殊程式。“登錄”指的是 Windows Registry，而“登錄檔”指的是副檔名為 reg 的文件。

一般情況下，透過執行 services.msc 這項管理工具來修改服務的啟動類型即可，編輯成登錄檔的形式僅便於重灌或大量套用。更動登錄有其風險，不建議冒然修改。

文末附上個人設定僅供參考，若需套用，請務必檢視、修改以符合實際需求，勿直接匯入。用 Notepad 存檔時編碼要選 Unicode (Notepad++ 即 UCS-2 little Endian)，並將副檔名設為 reg。
Start (DWORD) 一值即為設定啟動類型的項目，可用值如下：
0: Boot
1: System
2: Automatic
3: Manual
4: Disable

服務的詳細機碼內容，可執行 regedit.exe ，到 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ 中查看。

依更新進度不同，每個作業系統有的服務項目會有所增減，因為有些服務是在 Service Pack 才加入的。(像 Bluetooth Support Service, Extensible Authentication Protocol Service, Health Key and Certificate Management Service, Network Access Protection Agent, Network Provisioning Service, Wired AutoConfig …等)

目前測試結果(測試方法是先將所有服務設為 Manual，再逐項啟動)，只有“Plug and Play”與“Remote Procedure Call (RPC)”兩項較有設為自動啟動的必要(否則大部份的服務無法正常的手動啟動)。

而在所有服務都停用的情況下，Windows 依然可以正常開機、登入，但不只工作列無法顯示，還有大部份的 MMC 管理頁面也都無法正常運作。此時只能用 Ctrl+Alt+Del 叫出工作管理員來執行程式。前述情況是在 VM 環境內測試的結果，實機測試有些出入(工作列有出現)。

有些服務從名稱、說明或依存性，都看不出有什麼大不了的，但實際上卻很重要。像是使用 PPPoE (台灣常見的 ADSL 撥接) 時， Telephony 服務是必要的(還有 Network Connections、Remote Access Connection Manager 兩項)，但從說明看來卻像是 VoIP 之類的服務。

有些服務如 Print Spooler、Smart Card、UPS … 等，則應依個人設備需設定。
