Unpossible!
OK, hopefully this is an easy question for someone to answer. I want to have two different sets of windows services. One for general PC usage, and one for recording/mixing. if I set up two different user Accounts, will they each have their own set of services. IOW, if I shut off a service in one account, will it shut them off in the other?

Hopefully this makes sense.

Thanks!

:D
 
for the most part no.
most services run by default as a machine account.

however you can specify things like startup items, "adjust for best performance" etc as a per user setting.

what would be easier though would be to write a batch script to stop all the windows servers you don't want to run when you are recording,
then write another one to turn them all back on.

read the link below.

it is easy as pie.

There is a better way. Look up "hardware profiles". Once you have made a second profile, you can turn on/off services and hardware (via hardware manager and services applet) for each profile. The profile is selected at windows start up.

Wouldn't I have to restart to get the new profile activated?

Yes but that is the deal. If you want to turn off all network related stuff, all you have to do is disable the NIC so it is a small price to pay..
