Before we start,we should first make a System Restore Point (If you break anything you'll be able to restore your computer before you made these changes). It is recommended that you create a restore point before installing new software or making any major changes to your computer.

The time it takes to create the restore point will depend on the amount of data, computer speed etc.

All done! Now if something goes wrong you have the satisfaction knowing that you can go back in time to the point before the changes were made.
Getting Started
IMPORTANT: It is more safe to set the following services to manual rather than disabling them. This is because when some times if windows needs a service windows can start it by itself if and only if it is set to manual. If you set it to disabled Windows 7 cannot start the service by it’s own.
1. Right-click on Computer icon on desktop and select Manage, it'll open a new window. Now go to Services & Applications -> Services.
You can also open the same from Administrative Tools -> Computer Management.
Or you can directly open "Services" list by typing services.msc command in RUN or Startmenu search box.
