Hi there, I've recently moved over from windows to Xubuntu and this is my first forum post (As usually everything I've needed to know has been right here! Excellent community I must say.)

I installed VMWare Workstation today and noticed that now, even when im not using vmware, a couple of related services are now loading at startup.

I've not noticed any degrading of performance from this, and despite my usual 'if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality' I've become accustomed already to not having things running that don't need to be. (One of the many reasons I moved over.)

Is there a way to make these services only load as needed, or perhaps make a little script to disable/enabled as required manually?
