Here's a link to explain all the services. Maybe this can help weed out any others. http://majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=12 |

Thank you for providing a link. It was important to note, and I did not, that I'm running Windows XP w/SP1 and not SP2. That's why there may appear to be services missing from my manual/stopped list. I'm pretty sure I have ~10 Windows Services running. Arguably those are the only necessary services (as things are running as expected.) I'll post the services I left on automatic/running. That may be more useful than a list of services I stopped. Thanks for the reply! dot |
