Can anyone recommend a list of services that can safely
be disabled for Win2k SP4 on a home box with no networking?

First consider this list, which I created when I disabled many Win2000
services (without incident, btw).

Disabling Windows 2000 Services (11-08-02)
I disabled the following, all of which are marked SAFE in 2000 SERVICES.PDF:
a.. Alerter
b.. Clipbook
c.. Fax
d.. Indexing (uninstalled in Add/Remove Programs)
e.. Messenger (security risk; this is not MSN Messenger)
f.. NetMeeting Remote Desktop
g.. QoS RSVP
h.. Remote Registry Service
i.. Routing and Remote Access (it was already disabled)
j.. Smart Card
k.. Smart Card Helper
l.. Telnet
m.. UPS
n.. Windows Time
Later I disabled the following, considered OK to remove in 2000
SERVICES.PDF:
a.. IPSEC
b.. NetLogon
c.. Network DDE
d.. Network DDE DSDM
e.. Performance Logs & Alerts
f.. RPC Locator
g.. System Event Notification
h.. TCP/IP NetBIOS
Still no problems.
The 2000 SERVICES.PDF final candidates for disabling are:
a.. Distributed Link Tracking Network
b.. Distributed Transaction Coordinator
c.. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
d.. NT LM Security Support Provider
e.. Portable Media Serial Number

Second, check the above against the master list (2000 Services.pdf, from
which I derived my list above) at www.blackviper.com
Third, be sure to back up the registry before disabling anything. ERUNT is
excellent for this.

Anything to do with RPC leave alone. You could completely cripple the
system that only a reinstall will fix.

The usual--faster boot up, less extraneous crap running in the background.
