If you discover something other than these listed here running, another program installed them or they were installed with optional updates via Windows Update.

All of these services are “Standard” with Windows XP after the installation of Service Pack 3.

Service settings are global, meaning changes apply to all users.

Currently, “Default” and “Safe” are available.

If you do not wish to select/change each service by hand, I offer up Service Registry files to adjust them with only a few clicks.

Before disabling any service, check out the service information about each by selecting the service name links provided.

Do not use “msconfig” to disable services, type “ services.msc” in the Run box instead! ( Why?).

Please take that fact into consideration when reviewing this information. Please note, this information is no longer updated. I cannot possibly test all configurations extensively (meaning, each persons specific computer needs), but what I can offer is what “works for me” and the obstacles I have came across so you do not have to discover them on your own. XP Pro 圆4 (64-bit) Service information and Configurations are also online.īefore adjusting your service settings, ensure that you or your system has already installed all updates by “checking now” for any available updates via Windows Update. This information is valid for all versions of XP x86 (32-bit) running Service Pack 3.
