User accounts and services Windows 7 Pro x64

I would like to create two user accounts in Windows 7 Pro x64, each with their own separate running services. One account with just about all services running and a second account with just the bare minimum for playing games.

I tried doing this but found out that the services settings stay the same on both accounts. If I turn a service off on account one, that same service is disabled in account two even if I completely log out of account one.

Is there any way around this or is duel booting the only solution?

Thanks for your help.

Ford to pay CEO bonus at leaving

? Ford will pay a bonus to CEO Alan Mulally after his employment ends as reward for leading the second-largest U.S. automaker through its turnaround.

The payment will be based on Ford?s contributions to Mulally?s company retirement and benefit equalization plans, the Dearborn, Mich., company said in a regulatory filing. Ford reported net income of $5.67 billion for 2012 and its shares climbed 20 percent, outpacing the Standard & Poor?s 500 Index?s 13 percent rise.

The agreement for the payment was dated Feb. 13 and is ?a clarification of a prior agreement,? said Jay Cooney, a company spokesman.

?Nothing has changed.? No amounts were disclosed in the accord.

Ford reclaimed investment-grade credit ratings and paid out its first dividend since 2006 on the strength of its namesake brand, the only vehicle line to top 2 million U.S. sales last year.

Mulally, 67, has instituted a global product development plan called One Ford to boost profits by selling the same models globally, rather than different versions for various regions.

Ford has earned $35.2 billion the past four years after losing $30.1 billion from 2006 through 2008. Executive Chairman Bill Ford elevated Mark Fields to chief operating officer in December from president of the Americas, positioning the 23-year veteran of the company to succeed Mulally after 2014.

Mulally?s compensation for 2012, including salary and benefits, will be revealed in the company?s proxy statement. Ford rewarded Mulally with stock worth $58.3 million in March of last year and $56.6 million a year earlier.

Ford also provided some detail on the Venezuelan government?s Feb. 8 decision to devalue its currency to an exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar and the effect that move will have on the automaker?s operations in the country.

Ford had $620 million in net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan bolivars as of the end of last year, according to last week?s filing. Ford would have recorded a translation loss of about $200 million in its year-end financial statements had the devaluation occurred before the end of last year, the company said.

?Our ability to obtain funds at the official exchange rate has been limited,? Ford said in the Feb. 19 filing. ?Continuing restrictions on the foreign currency exchange market could affect our Venezuelan operations? ability to pay obligations denominated in U.S. dollars as well as our ability to benefit from those operations.?

The automaker also reported that North American automotive employment increased to 80,000 at the end of 2012 from 75,000 a year earlier. Total Ford employment increased 4.3 percent to 171,000.

Rising demand for F-Series pickups in Ford?s home market paced a record $8.34 billion annual pretax profit for the company?s operations in North America.

Obama reaches out to three key Republicans on immigration reform

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama reached out directly on Tuesday to key Republican senators negotiating a sweeping U.S. immigration overhaul and urged them to help craft a bipartisan reform bill as soon as possible.

Facing criticism for not getting personally involved in the delicate process on Capitol Hill, Obama made phone calls to three U.S. senators - Marco Rubio, John McCain and Lindsey Graham - part of a "Gang of Eight" group of Republicans and Democrats working on an immigration package.

Obama stepped in amid tensions with Republicans over the weekend leak of details of a backup immigration reform plan the White House is drafting in case the congressional effort stalls or breaks down.

The Democratic president told the three Republicans that he supports the Senate immigration initiative and "hopes that they can produce a bill as soon as possible that reflects shared core principles on reform," the White House said in a statement.

But repeating a warning that Obama has already issued in public, the White House also said "he is prepared to submit his own legislation if Congress fails to act."

Rubio, a rising Cuban-American star in his party and considered crucial to winning conservative backing for any reform deal, had dismissed the White House draft, which included an eight-year path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, as seriously flawed and "dead on arrival in Congress."

Rubio's office had denied assertions by the White House over the weekend that it had been engaged with them on the immigration issue, but administration officials insisted again on Tuesday that the sides had held a series of staff-level meetings.

Obama's calls on Tuesday, including one to Rubio while he was visiting Jerusalem, may help calm the waters for now.

"Senator Rubio appreciated receiving President Obama's phone call to discuss immigration reform," said Rubio spokesman Alex Conant. "The senator told the president that he feels good about the ongoing negotiations in the Senate, and is hopeful the final product is something that can pass the Senate with strong bipartisan support."

Obama emphasized in last week's State of the Union address the importance of creating a clear path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the United States illegally.

Many Republicans stress that there must first be measurable progress in securing the nation's borders, a condition that will be hard for the president to accept if it drags out the legalization process.

The White House, however, is counting on many Republicans feeling the pressure to move swiftly on immigration reform after they were chastened by Latino voters' rejection in the November election.

Obama, who met last week with top Democrats involved in the Senate effort, told the Republicans on Tuesday that "commonsense reform needs to include strengthening border security, creating an earned path to citizenship, holding employers accountable, and streamlining legal immigration," the White House said.

"He thanked the senators for their leadership, and made clear that he and his staff look forward to continuing to work together with their teams to achieve needed reform," the White House said.
