PLEASE NOTE: I copied this entire listing from the following web site

http://www.dead-eye.net/WinXP%20Services.htm

  • Do not use msconfig to disable services. Type in the Run box "services.msc" instead!
  • Before disabling ANY service, check out the information listed about each service by clicking on the name.
  • Only disable a few services at a time to avoid changing "50" settings and trying to figure out "what broke it."
  • Still unsure? Put your setting to "manual" or the listing under "Safe." Manual allows Windows XP to start the service when it needs to (or when ever it feels like it,) but not at boot up. NOTE: Depending on your configuration, not all services will start when required while in Manual mode. If you find you need a service, place it in Automatic.
  • After adjusting your service settings, reboot your computer.
  • If you do not have some of these services listed, don't panic! If your computer manufacture "pre-installed" your XP, they choose not to have certain services installed for you.
  • Notes

Disabling all of the "unneeded services" frees up 12-70MB of RAM, depending on system.
