With SMART you can start, stop or disable service quickly. Clicking on the service will show you detailed information about the service along with the location of the service.
To change the start-up type of a service, right-click on the service and then select Automatic, Manual or Disabled type. Double-click on a service to start or stop it.
And if you are new to Windows Services, you can use Safe, Tweaked, Advanced and Default presets to change the settings quickly. Finally, if you don’t like to use third-party tool to enable/disable a service, refer our how to enable/disable a service in Windows 7 guide.
