Heres a good guide for services in windows 7 http://www.blackviper.com/

Windows 7 only uses 1 cpu when starting up, If you goto start, type msconfig, goto the bot tab, then hit the advanced boot button, check the box that says CPU, and then in the pull down box select the max number, then click ok, and then restart. Windows 7 will now Utilize all your cores when starting up.

you can do that yourself in your bios

PLEASE do not download an un needed program to do sometihing you can do on your own in command prompt. You should disable it, especially if you are bvooting from a ssd. Here is how do accomplish it and so much more. Disable prefecth and superfetch, disably windows search, reduce the size of you page file, ect. It also has some links to some awesome utilities. If you dont have space sniffer... download it now! Steam mover is also a must!

That program I linked is for window 7 services. It allows you to save your current window 7 services, so if you do mess something up you can just load the file w/o having to do a system restore

I wasn't refering to your link, sorry. I meant don't download software to disable hybrination. The link I posted is a verified guide to windows 7 optimization for HDD/SSD. It all works and it is at the top of my favorites list. This guide has sections on just about every aspect of windows, including services and a whole lot more. It is worth the read. Chances are you'll find something you missed. I looked at the links you provided, or am looking now, and there is also some good stuff, some of it is that same, but both have some different material. check it out, i think you'll like it
