...if you're bound and determined to minimize the number of services running on your ThinkPad. I mentioned this site in your previous posting on the very same topic!

The web page reviews all possible services initiated by Windows XP Pro/Home SP2, providing a brief description of each service, its default status under SP2, along with a recommendation on whether the service can be safely turned off or not (refer to Default XP Home and Default XP Pro for the default status for a given service; refer to Safe Setting to see whether the service can be safely turned off).

Most of this stuff can be managed without trying to do it with services. I don't disable any services at all. I do manage what runs (look around and check setups) and my CPU runs at less than 2 percent 99 percent of the time on both IBM Desktop and IBM ThinkPad. ... JDHurst
