Windows 7 Using different usage profiles?

[Jakob Rohde]

Hi

I have installed SharePoint 2010 on my Windows 7 laptop, and it works fine. But all the services that are installed will always start and use a lot of resources, even when I don't use the application.

It is possible to only start all the involved services (like SQL Server, IIS etc.) when I tell it to or to only have them start when I log on with a special user account?

Thanks
Jakob

Yes, provided you install it only for a specific user instead of the (usually default) all users.
