I am blown away that QuackViper still has a site...and even more so that anyone is recommending it or following his advice.

The best way to manage your services is to leave them alone. That's been the case for nearly a decade, and becomes more and more true as Windows and hardware platforms mature.
Just to mention many services that just start and than stop, not using any resources. Many are also manual and "On demand".
