Windows XP Home and Professional Service Configurations
Notes for a Happier Computer and User:
Do NOT use "msconfig" to disable services, type "services.msc" in the Run box instead! (WHY? </AskBV/XP25.htm>)
Before disabling ANY service, check out the service information </WinXP/service411.htm> about each by selecting the service name links provided.
Service settings are global, meaning changes apply to all users.
For an easy method of creating multiple Service Configurations, please check out the Windows XP Services Profile Guide </WinXP/xpprofiles.htm>.
For an even easier method of applying these tweaks, please visit the Windows XP Services Registry Patch Guide </WinXP/registry.htm>.
If you wish to automatically include the Windows XP Services 411 </WinXP/service411.htm> descriptions in the services.msc GUI, please visit the Windows XP Services Registry Patch Guide </WinXP/registry.htm> for more information.
All of these services are "Standard" with Windows XP. If you discover something other than these listed here running, another program installed them. View a listing of the more common ones </WinXP/strangeservice.htm>.
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. 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, do not panic! If your computer manufacture "pre-installed" your XP, they choose not to have certain services installed for you. This is, in most cases, a fact with OEM versions of Windows XP Home.
Before E-Mailing me, see if your question has been addressed in the FAQ </AskBV/askBV.htm>!
More items about how to speed up your system can be found on the Windows XP Super Tweaks Page </WinXP/supertweaks.htm>!
If you find this page helpful and you wish to use this information (forums, web sites), please link directly back to this page </WinXP/servicecfg.htm> and do not copy or redistribute it </TheRant/copyright.htm>. The information is up to date and I do not want anyone posting old content.
Disabling all of the "unneeded services" frees up 12-70 MB of RAM, depending on system.
Do you mean that out of 89 services, 36 are set to Automatic as DEFAULT, but, we MAY only need 8 running?!? YES.
