Hi Mark,
No comment then as to whether it speeded up the computer or not?
I had all these services disabled anyway. It's a practice I have known for
years. He also missed out some services which are on my machine, but Google
is your friend here.
All the best
Steve

OK, a response coming!!
Tried it and it was simple to do. Took off about six services I was not
using and all seems fine. Didn't touch any of the network ones as suggested
as my network seems ok as it is.
Just the kind of thing I was looking for myself, so thanks for posting it.

Hello
Thought this resource might be of interest to some since slow
computers often come up on the list. Advice is given about stopping
unnecessary programs firing up on boot up but I have not seen anything
mentioned about unnecessary Windows services which also load up when booting
using up computer resources which many of us, I suspect, don't use. Below I
have pasted the beginning of an article together with the web address. It
applies specifically to XP but the principle might be of help to all.

Turning off unnecessary services in Windows XP can greatly reduce
your exploit risk, while improving system performance. It's a good time to
inject that
often there are all sorts of "download optimizers" and other cute
programs that vendors like to push on users. Most of the time, installing
such things
slows your computer down at best. It could subject you to potential
security risks. The first rule is "If you don't know you need it, you
probably don't."
Unnecessary services don't just subject you to security risk. They
also slow down the operation of your computer. So, don't get lazy here and
think you
can just deal with the infections later. Go ahead and turn that junk
off and recapture your system from these resource hogs. You get to services
by going
to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then Services. You should
see a long list of services, some running and some dormant. Use this
checklist to help
determine which services you can live without.
If you don't know how to find Windows Services in Windows XP, click
on Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Services. Below is a
simple step
by step to finding and changing your services on Windows XP. Keep in
mind that your view settings may make your's appear slightly different, but
will be
the same basic path.
