Easily restore Windows services to default settings with a web app
I don't know how they manage to do it, but they do. Every now and then a customer drops off a system for repair and things that a home user should ever need to monkey with - things like TCP/IP settings, registry entries, Windows services - have been mangled beyond recognition.
Services in particular can be a big pain to reset, simply because of how many their are. Fortunately, there's an incredibly handy web app which makes the process a whole lot easier.
Serviceseditor.com supports Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Click the appropriate version, and you're presented with a comprehensive list of radio buttons covering all the built-in services. Scroll through the list and toggle any values you don't want set to the default Microsoft settings and press the submit button. You'll receive a .reg file which you can then merge with the Windows registry.
It's quite a bit faster than clicking through services.msc manually to get things back to normal and (obviously) doesn't even require an install. Slick!

and this is why i turn off the service to allow web apps access you my system, and disable Remote Registry. this is a good site, but i worry that one day, someone will make a malware copy of it, and then you want to talk about broken systems?
blackviper.com is a much better site. this gentleman actually took the time to go through and document and explain what every service is, in xp, vista, and now win7. yes, it may take a little longer to do it manually. but this way, you know what you're doing a little more

This borked my Windows 7 64-bit display driver. Not worth the trouble it caused me.

Gojifan,
This does not use remote registry or anything like that! That would be vastly unsafe. Richard - I see no way it could do that. It's not editing any display drivers!
Thanks,
Daniel.
