Can I disable all services in msconfig?

In MSCONFIG, go ahead and check Hide all Microsoft services. As I mentioned earlier, I don't even mess with disabling any Microsoft service because it's not worth the problems you'll end up with later. Once you hide the Microsoft services, you really should only be left with about 10 to 20 services at max.

A: Yes it is completely safe to disable this service. You can enable it again at anytime. Actually this service is just to optimize the system performance and not a required service. Windows will work smoothly even without this service.
