What makes Windows run and offer so many features to so many different applications are the Windows Services. With the use of services, Windows is able to manage your network connections, plays sound in your speakers, remember your passwords and credentials, display colors on your screen and so on.
To get to the services available - and running - on your Windows 7 computer, the quick way is to type "services" in the search box from the Start Menu and then select either "Services" from Programs or "View local services" from the Control Panel results.
You will get a Services snap-in window similar to the one below
Walking through the list offered you can see whether a service is started, or not. Also the dependencies of a service are shown. A service's startup type can be
either
Automatic => the service will be started at boot time.
or
Automatic (Delayed Start) => the service will start after the system has loaded all the other services set to automatically start.
