If I need to change a setting...

I presume you're asking about Extended Services.

Don't change those settings unless you're absolutely sure if your system doesn't need a specific device driver. Removing a device driver will also delete its Extended Service (which is easier).

Automatic Indicates that the service is to be started (or was started) by the operating system, at system start-up. If an automatically started service depends on a manually started service, the manually started service is also started automatically at system startup.
BootIndicates that the service is a device driver started by the system loader. This value is valid only for device drivers.
DisabledIndicates that the service is disabled, so that it cannot be started by a user or application.
ManualIndicates that the service is started only manually, by a user (using the Service Control Manager) or by an application.
SystemIndicates that the service is a device driver started by the IOInitSystem function. This value is valid only for device drivers.
