Question

I am a iPod Video, iPod Touch owner. I have iTunes running now on an old, slow Celeron machine so that I don't have to run it on my fast main machine. I am worried about the services it loads and starts on under Windows.

But it would be cool if I could install and run it on my main machine an exit from it without it leaving a footprint. Short of running it in a Virtual Machine, is there any utility out there that could toggle on/off the services that iTunes/Quicktime runs in the background?
