wanted to know is there a utility I can use in windows 7 ultimate that works like MS Security configuration wizard/SCW to turn off unneeded service in win 7 at all? thanks Adam

Based on my knowledge, the answer is no. Security Configuration Wizard is only for Windows Server products.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

According to this KB, Windows XP and Windows 7 support Security Configuration Wizard http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222
