“SAFE” Configuration ~ This is the configuration that 95% of the people will be able to use with little or no side effects.Service Name ~ What name is used in the registry.
Display Name ~ How it displays in the Services Control Panel.Select the column header to sort by that field. Disabling all of the “unneeded services” reduces the footprint of the OS by up to 70%, depending on system.This is, in most cases, a fact with OEM versions of Windows XP Home. 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.After adjusting your service settings, reboot your computer.If you find you need a service, place it in Automatic. Depending on your configuration, not all services will start when required while in “Manual” mode. 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.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 Please note, this information is no longer updated.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.
