Yikes...that's what I'd focus on.67 processes running
I beg / plead that any links be removed that advise disabling services. If they aren't used, they aren't taking up any resources. Read the sticky! Don't disable services!Am I really seeing that you recommend disabling the Workstation service?
When you don't have your PC in a domain (as most home users don't) you don't need it (Along with a good hunk of the rest of the services I listed).Am I really seeing that you recommend disabling the Workstation service?

If we really must drag this fiasco back up again...So you are trying to tell me the indexing service (among others) isn't used if enabled???
I beg to differ.You aren't freeing up any resources, especially not anything measurable
There comes a point in time when all the tweaking has been done, and it's time to just use the computer for real purposes.
You recommended they read your guide, which recommends disabling the services.I'm not forcing anyone to do it, and I didn't even recommend it to the poster here.
See, that's the thing....it's not my opinion. Let's assume a hypothetical computer has 1 GB of memory, running XP Pro SP2. If disabling services frees up maybe one or two MB of memory...what will that do? Honestly? Given your track record, especially in the drive imaging thread, I can tell you're not some ignorant noob. That being said, you started debating every point in that thread, only to turn around on each on of them and go with common accepted beliefs. For this thread, why not just save time and stop the needless debating. It's been known for quite some time now that disabling services is a complete waste of time and effort. There has been enough testing, enough debating, and enough discussing over the past two years over this to put it to bed. It's been there for quite some time, and there's no need to resurrect it. Save your time, leave your services alone. As long as you're running SP2, you have the security holes shut regarding disabling services (ex: Messenger Service). Leave them alone and focus on some worthwhile areas of the PC. Or, better yet, play some games, edit some video or pictures, etc.You are entitled to your own opinions, but I have seen a computer increase as much as 10% (sometimes more, just depends) by disabling the stuff in that list.
YOU CANNOT DENY THE LOGIC!!! hehehe Yeah, I know, I need a life, but it's just nice to know someone actually gets it besides me.
For guidelines Again, unless this person is in a domain environment- it won't hurt anything.You recommended they read your guide, which recommends disabling the services.
If disabled, they can always be re-enabled. It isn't like a permanant hack which cannot be undone.
How do I know what to stop etc??Yikes...that's what I'd focus on.
