    According to Blackvipers website

    Unless you have many users on a system, you probably do not even need this service to be running. You could benefit, however, greatly if you use this service in conjunction with many users on your local computer to allow switching users without closing all existing applications running under a different account.

    Default XP Home: Manual
    Default XP Pro: Manual
