Quick VB script example from the Microsoft Scripting Guys forums:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/hsgarch.ms
px
'''''''''''''''''
'Set the Computer Browser Service to disabled on local node'
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer &
"\root\cimv2")
Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
'Set the service name below'
("Select * from Win32_Service where Name = 'Browser'")
For Each objService in colServiceList
If objService.State = "Running" Then
objService.StopService()
Wscript.Sleep 5000
End If
errReturnCode = objService.ChangeStartMode("Disabled")
Next
'''''''''''''''''
This can be repeated for other services, and the 'ChangeStartMode' can
also be toggled from automatic > manual > disabled. Put this in the
'start' up folder, and it will run each time a user logs on, and will
configure the services as needed.
Hope this helps a bit,
~Peter

From command line, run sc.exe /?
This should help for disabling services...

Hello to all:
Am not into script writing yet. Can anyone recommend or know where I
could find/get a script that disables windows unnecessary services for
example?
Thank you
Emer
