Hi all
I wanted to minimize the amount of services running on my Win XP Pro
SP2, by disabling as many of them as possible.
I couldn't find information about what services would be needed in
which case, so I went and disabled many that I was fairly sure were
not needed. Unfortunately I subsequently got into trouble with some
application that needed to use some functionality which required one
of the disabled services...and some of these services needed other of
the disabled services to be running.
In fact it looks like the Windows XP service structure is like an
interconnected spiderweb. I eventually ended back to where I started,
with many of the original services running.
What would have made this operation easier would have been information
on which Windows functionality is dependent on which services.
Does anyone know of easy way to create a list of MS service
dependencies on an XP system?
TiA,
JJ
