Trial and error is the key here. Although, I will explicitly describe which services cannot be disabled or risk the stability of the entire system. The services in this article are mainly discussed for Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. This will allow coverage for all the services featured in both Windows XP Home and Professional. I use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 and I only have 24 services set to automatic. Most of those are not Windows related. Several are LogMeIn, HP printer, FileZilla server, and security software. Please keep in mind that every PC has different needs. I claim no responsibility in the consequences of this article to readers. ]]> http://blog.lokonopa.com/governing-windows-part-two/feed/ 0 Governing Windows Into Submission: Part One http://blog.lokonopa.com/governing-windows-part-one/ http://blog.lokonopa.com/governing-windows-part-one/#comments Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:05:13 +0000 Lokonopa http://blog.lokonopa.com/?p=775 System Protection Windows can be a beast of burden and difficult to tame for some.
