Hi Damon, If you are sharing files between the 2 computer I think you're OK without some of those services. You can always turn them back on. I have a longer list, but I think this one covers the most important services to disable. You can get rid of Smart card services too (used by the military). Services are located at Control Panel - Administrative Tools Easiest way to disable is to double click a service, Click "Startup Type", select "Disable", then "OK" Bil PC 1000 M-Pulse 5000 magnetic pulse generator http://magpulser.com Mammoth Lakes, CA 760-924-1000 mailto:magpulser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx D> Thanks!!
