Hi, It is possible to turn off unwanted services, but I recommend you proceed with caution.
1 Check your back up/copy/archive of all your important stuff is 100% accurate up to date reproducible and kept safely on removable media. before you start.
2 Back up your Registry and set a system restore point and making a fresh disc image would also be a wise move.
3 Research the services and their interactions thoroughly before proceeding……keep a log of everthing you do so you can undo it if it creates problems …..
4 only disable one or two items at a time not a whole load of them..( you will then know which ones are causing a problem if your machine doesn't work properly following a reboot!)
When you are ready to start then go here for a good overview of the services and which does what:
