tcmj -- Infos zu den WinXP Diensten -- tcmj

	Warndienst ~ Benachrichtig den Benutzer über administrative Warnungen. Unter normalen Umständen wird dieser Dienst nicht benötigt.
	tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	Abhängigkeiten: Workstation
	Gatewaydienst auf Anwendungsebene ~ Bietet Unterstützung für "3rd party plug-ins" z.B. für die Internetverbindungsfirewall / Gemeinsame Nutzung der Internetverbindung.  Notwendig falls man die (XP) Firewall benutzt oder der Rechner als Gateway fungiert! Dies verbraucht ca. 1.5 MB Speicher in an idle state.
	tcmj sagt: automatisch, wenn man es braucht - deaktivieren, wenn nicht.
	Anwendungsverwaltung ~ Wird benutzt, für die Übertragung, Veröffentlichung und Entfernung von Softwarediensten.  Falls man die Installation von normalen Programmen nicht beeinflussen kann, so setzt man den Dienst auf Automatisch oder Manuell.
	tcmj sagt: manuell
	Anwendungsverwaltung ~ Used for Assign, Publish and Remove software services.  If you can not modify your software installation of certain applications, put this service in to Automatic or manuell.
	tcmj sagt: manuell
	Automatische Updates ~ werden benötigt wenn man will, dass Windows selbst prüft, ob neue Updates im Internet zur Verfügung stehen. Angeblich berichtet Windows aber nicht sofort, sondern oft Tage später, dass neue Updates vorhanden sind. Meiner Meinung nach sollte man sich für das manuelle Updaten entscheiden und dies dann über die Microsoft Homepage oder evtl. CDs machen. Benötigt Kryptografiedienste tcmj sagt:  deaktivieren
	Intelligenter Hintergrundübertragungsdienst ~ wird benutzt, um asynchrone Daten über http1.1 Server zu übertragen. Dieses Feature nutzt das Windows Update. Es setzt einen unterbrochenen Download fort, wenn man sich abmeldet oder den Computer runterfährt. (natürlich beim erneuten Anmelden). Das Problem ist, dass man dieses Feature recht selten in Anspruch nimmt. Ich habe bis jetzt keinen Nebeneffekt bemerkt, als ich es deaktiviert habe. Nutzt stattdessen FTP und macht das Windows Update manuell über die Microsoft-Seite! Benötigt Kryptografiedienste tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remoteprozeduraufruf (RPC) Arbeitsstationsdienst
	Ablagemappe ~ wird benutzt um Informationen zu speichern (ausschneiden/einfügen) und mit anderen Computern auszutauschen. Ich habe bis jetzt noch keinen vernünftigen Grund gefunden, diesen Dienst ständig aktiv zu lassen. Er belegt ca. 1,3 MB Speicher. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Network DDE
	COM+ Ereignissystem ~ In dem Ereignisprotokoll steht ein Eintrag über "DCOM" welcher beklagt, dass dieser Dienst nicht gestartet wurde, wenn er deaktiviert wird. Ich kenne momentan eigentlich kein Programm, welches COM+ verwendet. Aber wenn man diesen Dienst auf "manuell" setzt, melden dies viele Dienste, so dass er dann sowieso gestartet wird.  Erforderlich für Fehlerberichtserstattung.  Wechsle in den Ordner "C:\Programme\ComPlus Applications" und schau nach, ob irgendein COM+ Programm installiert ist.  Falls nicht, kann man diesen Dienst eigentlich ohne Nebeneffekte deaktivieren (bis auf die Einträge im Ereignisprotokoll .)  Achtung:  BootVis benötigt Taskplaner  und COM+ Ereignissystem zum starten der "Optimieren"-Funktion.  tcmj sagt: deaktivieren für Fortgeschrittene, Automatisch für die "Sichere" Konfiguration. Abhängigkeiten: Remoteprozeduraufruf (RPC)
	COM+ Systemanwendung ~ Im Ereignisprotokoll findet man einen Eintrag über "DCOM" welcher klagt, dass dieser Dienst nicht gestartet wurde, wenn man ihn deaktiviert. Auch hier gilt, dass sich viele Dienste beschweren wenn dieser Dienst nicht aktiv ist und er wird dann - manuell - gestartet. Auch hier sollte man "C:\Programme\ComPlus Applications" aufsuchen, und prüfen, ob er irgendeinen Inhalt hat. Falls nicht, kann man ihn eigentlich deaktivieren. (Die Einträge im Ereignisprotokoll sind dann normal) Wird benötigt für Systemereignisbenachrichtigung . tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remoteprozeduraufruf (RPC)
	Computerbrowser ~ Enthält eine Auflistung von Computern und Resourcen, die sich im Netzwerk befinden.  Dieser Dienst wird nur in Verbindung mit einem großen Netzwerk benötigt.  tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Server Arbeitsstationsdienst
	Kryptografiedienste ~ Hauptsächlich bestätigt dieser Dienst sogenannte 'Signaturen" von Windows-Dateien. Man bekommt dann etwa eine Meldung über "unzertifizierte Treiber" wenn man ihn deaktiviert.  Wird benötigt für das starten des Windows Updates um im manuellen und automatischen Modus zu fungieren.  Ich starte diesen Dienst, wenn ich auf neue Updates prüfe, dann schalte ich ihn aber wieder aus!  Für einige Funktionen des Windows Media Players wird dieser Dienst auch benötigt. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remoteprozeduraufruf (RPC)
	DHCP Client ~ Empfängt eine dynamische IP-Addresse vom DHCP-Server des (Internet)providers.  Wird benötigt für ICS /Internet-Client und auch, wenn man IPSECbenutzt. Auf Einzelplatzsystemen oder Systemen mit statischer IP-Adresse sollte dieser Dienst deaktiviert werden.  Achtung:  Viele DSL/Kabel Provider benutzen DHCP für ihren Internetzugang .  Wenn dieser Dienst deaktiviert wird, und das Internet funktioniert nicht mehr, dann sollte man wieder zurück auf "Automatisch" stellen. tcmj sagt: Automatisch für Netzwerke, ansonsten: deaktivieren . Abhängigkeiten: AFD Networking Support Environment NetBios over TCP/IP TCP/IP Protocol Driver
	Distributed Link Tracking Client ~ Maintains links with NTFS files within your computer or across a domain.  For example, I make a file on "Computer A."  I then create a "short cut" or "link" to that file on "Computer B."  If I would move the file on Computer A to a different location, this service would tell Computer B to update it's information to allow uninterrupted connectivity.  Even though this is rather valuable on a large network, I have not found a use for this service.  It uses about 3.5 MB to 4 MB in an idle state. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Distributed Transaction Coordinator ~ Takes care of transactions that span multiple resources.  Required if using Message Queuing.  You may also see complaints in the Event Log if this service is deaktivieren, but I have experienced no side effects. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Security Accounts Manager
	DNS Client ~ Resolves DNS names and Active Directory domain controller functions.  This service is not needed, but if it makes you happy to have it running, go ahead.  Required if using IPSEC. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: TCP/IP Protocol Driver
	Error Reporting Service ~ Calls home to Micro$oft when application errors occurs.  I personally do not like this.  A waste of memory and resources.  You can do it if you wish. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Event Log ~ Allows Event Log messages from applications to be viewed in Event Viewer.  Always helpful to check out the Event Log to see what problems with applications are popping up that is "hidden" from the normal user.  Before tweaking your services, you may consider clearing the Event Log to quickly see what, if anything, has resulted in your adjustments.  Windows Management Instrumentation also Benötigt Event Log Service to be running.  If you disable the Event Log Service, but do not disable Windows Management Instrumentation, your computer may have an extended boot time while Windows Management Instrumentation is waiting for the Event Log to start.  It is just best to keep this service active. tcmj sagt: Automatic
	Fast User Switching Compatibility ~ Unless you have many users on a system, you probably do not even need this service to be running. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Terminal Services
	Fax Service ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Plug and Play Print Spooler Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Telephony
	FTP Publishing Service ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Used to provide a FTP server on your network. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: IIS Admin
	Help and Support ~ Required for Micro$ofts online help documents.  If you ever "attempt" to use Help and Support, this service will be placed back into "Automatic" even if you already placed this service on deaktivieren.  I try to avoid as much M$ help as I can... tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless you really want it. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Human Interface Device Access ~ I have no peripherals that require this service.  If one of yours magically does not function anymore, set it to Automatic.  Namely, scanners with function buttons (fax, copy) or even a keyboard with volume or play controls. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless you really need it. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	IIS Admin ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Usually used in conjunction with local web site or FTP servers.  Leave it uninstalled mainly because IIS has been "popular" for hackers to break. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren unless you really want it. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Security Accounts Manager
	IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service ~ Used for that cool "drag and drop" CD burn capability.  You will need this service to burn CD's.  The good news?  If set to manuell, the service starts and stops itself when used with some software packages.  Practically the only service that does do this!  If you still can not burn a CD with it on manuell, switch to Automatic and feel safe that it will only be used when "needed."  My best guess is that this takes up about 1.6 MB of memory in an idle state. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless needed, then Automatic.
	Indexing Service ~ This has always and forever been a major resource hog.  I never recommend having this service enabled.  Remove the function via the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the control panel (Windows Setup Programs.)  It uses about 500K to 2 MB in an idle state, not to mention the amount of memory it takes to actually INDEX the drives.  I have had people (and witnessed it on other people's computers) report to me that the Indexing Service sometimes starts up EVEN while the system is NOT idle... as in the middle of a game.  I feel this is unacceptable. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren or even better, uninstalled. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Internet Connection Firewall and Internet Connection Sharing ~ Used to allow multiple computers on your network to access the internet via only one account.  This service is installed on the "modem" computer.  If you are using a 3rd party firewall or Internet Connection Sharing software package, this service is not required. tcmj sagt: Automatic if using this function, deaktivieren if not required. Abhängigkeiten: Application Layer Gateway Service Network Connections Network Location Awareness Remote Access Connection Manager
	IPSEC Services ~ May be required on some domains, but the "average" user will not need this. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: IPSEC driver Remote Procedure Call (RPC) TCP/IP Protocol Driver
	Logical Disk Manager ~ Vital to run the Disk Management MMC console for dynamic volumes.  If you attempt to "Manage" your hard drives and a dialog box pops up complaining about to being able to do this, start this service.  If you think I am being vague, I am.  :) tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Plug and Play Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service ~ Vital to run the Disk Management MMC console for dynamic volumes. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Logical Disk Manager Plug and Play Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Message Queuing ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  May be used on some domains, but the "average" home user will never need this service. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Distributed Transaction Coordinator Message Queuing access control NT LM Security Support Provider Reliable Multicast Protocol driver Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Server
	Message Queuing Triggers ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Required if you use Message Queuing service. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Message Queuing
	Messenger ~ Sends messages between clients and servers.  Not needed under normal "home" conditions.  This has nothing to do with MSN Messenger, nor is it "WinPopUp." tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: NetBIOS Interface Plug and Play Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Workstation
	MS Software Shadow Copy Provider ~ Used in conjunction with the Volume Shadow Copy Service.  M$ Backup uses these services.  You will receive, in the Event Log, a entry complaining about not having this service running if deaktivieren.  I have yet to find a side effect, though... tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

 

Net Login ~ Used for logging onto a Domain Controller.  View the "Proof" here:  tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Workstation

 

	NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing ~ Enables a user to access your computer using NetMeeting.  This may create a BIG open door for the unwanted.  If you are paranoid about security, Disable this function.  Even if you are not worried, I would still get rid of it. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	Network Connections ~ Required for managing network connectivity.  Set to deaktivieren if you have NO network or you do not toy with the configurations a lot.  If your internet connectivity is effected after disabling this function, set it back to Automatic!  Note:  While disabling this service, you will no longer see the system tray icon (lower right) displayed, even for modem connections.  Connectivity, however, still exists even on incoming shared network drives. tcmj sagt: Automatic if needed, deaktivieren if not. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Network DDE ~ I have not found a good use for this service.  Unless you use remote ClipBook, Disable it.  This uses about 1.5 MB idle. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Network DDE DSDM
	Network DDE DSDM ~  I have not found a good use for this service.  Unless you use remote ClipBook, Disable it. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: AFD Networking Support Environment TCP/IP Protocol Driver
	Network Location Awareness (NLA) ~ Required for use with the Internet Connection Sharing Service (server only.) tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless running ICS/ICF.
	NT LM Security Support Provider ~ Not needed unless you are running Message Queuing or Telnet server. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless needed.
	Performance Logs and Alerts ~ Collects performance data on a schedule and sends the information to a log or triggers an alert.  This may be a super geek tool, but I feel that the overhead associated with it is not worth the benefit.  You decide. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	Plug and Play ~ The heart and soul of the Plug and Play environment.  I do not recommend to disable this service, but if you want to, you are on your own.  Take note:  UPnP is NOT related to PnP.  UPnP is used for connectivity on networks via TCP/IP to devices, such as scanners or printers.  Your sound card is PnP.  Do NOT Disable Plug and Play service. tcmj sagt: Automatic
	Portable Media Serial Number ~ Retrieves serial numbers from portable music players connected to your computer.  I have not really found a good reason to keep this service always running.  I am not aware of anything that actually Benötigt it.  Disable it unless something of yours ceases to function properly. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	Print Spooler ~ Queues up print jobs for later printing.  This service is Required if you have printers, even if they are network printers.  If this does not fit your needs, Disable it.  You will save about 3.8 MB by making this service go away.  Take note:  Your printers will still be "installed" if you disable this service, but not visible in the printers folder.  After restarting Print Spooler, they will reappear and be available for use. tcmj sagt: Automatic if needed, deaktivieren otherwise. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Protected Storage ~ Allows for the saving of local passwords or even web sites information (AutoComplete.)  This service is set to Automatic by default.  Due to security reasons, I recommend leaving this "feature" deaktivieren to make things all that much more difficult to steal vital information if you do not "save" it.  If you disable this service, you will no longer have any of your passwords saved, no matter how many times you click the box.  If you enjoy having your passwords saved in applications like Outlook or Dial up networking, set this service to Automatic. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	QoS RSVP ~ Provides traffic control on a network using IPSEC and applications that support QoS, plus have an adapter that supports it.  The QoS Packet Driver is installed by default on any TCP/IP connections.  I recommend uninstalling it if it is not needed on your network.  As far as I can tell, you also need an ACS Server (Provided with Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server) for the QoS Packet Scheduler and Applications to request the needed bandwidth.  Since my network is not straining under any load, this is rather pointless.  Take note:  Some people (as I did before I completed extensive research on this) reported that QOS uses 20% of your bandwidth and does not allow any activity, regardless.  This is false.  For more information, please view this KB article from M$ (I normally do not post links to them, but this warrants it:)  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q316666  Regardless, if you uninstall the packet scheduler, there is no "bandwidth" that is still being used... tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: AFD Networking Support Environment Remote Procedure Call (RPC) TCP/IP Protocol Driver
	Remote Access Auto Connection Manager ~ Creates a connection to a network when a program requests a remote address.  This service may be Required for your internet connection.  If things cease to function after disabling this service, put it to Automatic.  Note: you may require this service for some cable or DSL providers, depending on how they implement their logon process.  If your Dial-up, cable or DSL internet access no longer functions properly with this service deaktivieren, place this service into Automatic. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless required for your internet connection. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Access Connection Manager Telephony
	Remote Access Connection Manager ~ Creates a network connection.  This service is Required if you use Internet Connection Sharing.  If things cease to function after disabling this service, put it to Automatic.  Note: you may Require this service for some cable or DSL providers, depending on how they implement their logon process.  If your Dial-up, cable or DSL internet access no longer functions properly with this service deaktivieren, place this service into Automatic tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless required for your internet connection. Abhängigkeiten: Telephony
	Remote Desktop Help Session Manager ~ Manages and controls Remote Assistance.  If you do not want or need to use this feature, Disable it.  In an idle state, this service sucks up 3.4 MB to 4 MB of RAM. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless using it. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Remote Procedure Call (RPC) ~ This service is rather Vital.  Just about everything depends on this service to be running.  This is also the only service that you can not disable via the Services MMC. tcmj sagt: Leave it on Automatic.
	Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator ~ Manages the RPC name service database.  I have not found a reason to keep this service running.  If something on your network breaks after you disable this service, put it back to manuell.  About 1.2 MB of RAM is consumed with this service.  tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless required for your network. Abhängigkeiten: Workstation
	Remote Registry Service ~ This is one of those not needed services.  One of the first I disable.  If you are paranoid about security, disable this service.  Even if you are not or do not care, disable it anyway. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	Removable Storage ~ Used for managing removable media.  Disable this service if you do not have items like tape backup devices, etc.  If your CD ROM/DVD Drive starts acting funny, (no auto play, etc) place this service into Automatic.  Normally, this service is not needed and you will not miss any of its functionality. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	RIP Listener ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  If you do not know what it is, you do not need it.  :) tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Routing and Remote Access ~ If you do not know what it is, you do not need it.  :) tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: NetBIOSGroup Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Secondary Logon ~ Enables starting processes under alternate credentials.  I have never found a reason to keep this service running.  I have always considered "Alternate Credentials" someone other than ME!  Not my idea of fun... tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	Security Accounts Manager ~ Like Protected Storage, it saves security information for local users.  This service is Required for IIS Admin. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless needed. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Server ~ Used for file and print sharing from your computer or if you use Message Queuing.  Workstation is needed to connect to another computer that has the files you are looking for.  For security purposes, you may Disable this service if you do not require local printers and files to be shared across your network.  Connectivity, however, still exists even on incoming shared network drives. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless needed.
	Shell Hardware Detection ~ Used for the auto play of devices like memory cards, some CD drives, etc. Also, set to Automatic if you are experiencing problems with laptop docking stations. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless needed. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Supports the use of a local (outbound) email server. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Event Log IIS Admin
	Simple TCP/IP Services ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Supports some old school UNIX networking services. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: AFD Networking Support Environment
	Smart Card ~ Supports the use of a Smart Card for local or network computer authentication.  If you do not have a "Smart Card," or you do not know what a Smart Card is, you do not need this service running.  Save the 1.1 MB to 1.4 MB of RAM this service uses. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Plug and Play

 

	Smart Card Helper ~ Supports the use of a Smart Card for local or network computer authentication.  If you do not have a "Smart Card," you do not need this service running. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	SNMP Service ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Supports the use of networking equipment that use SNMP as a mode of management. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Event Log
	SNMP Trap Service ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Supports the use of networking equipment that use SNMP as a mode of management. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Event Log
	SSDP Discovery Service ~ Used to locate UPnP devices on your home network. Used in conjunction with Universal Plug and Play Device Host, it detects and configures UPnP devices on your home network.  For security reasons and also for the fact that I doubt that you have any of these devices, Disable this service.  If any EXTERNAL device does not function as a result of this service being deaktivieren, place it back in to Automatic.  Take note:  UPnP is NOT related to PnP.  UPnP is used for connectivity on networks via TCP/IP to devices, such as scanners or printers.  Your sound card is PnP.  Do NOT Disable Plug and Play service. I know that not even Micro$ofts own XBOX uses this UPnP Service... tcmj sagt: deaktivieren for security reasons.
	System Event Notification ~ Used in conjunction with COM+ Event System, this service notifies particular services when system events, such as logon and power events occurs.  I doubt the the average user really cares about this.  I have also not seen any applications that use this.  You will receive, in the Event Log, a entry complaining about not having this service running if deaktivieren.  I have yet to find a side effect, though... tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: COM+ Event System
	System Restore Service ~ Creates system snap shots or restore points for returning to at a later time.  This is the OTHER service that is a massive resource hog (Indexing Service is number one.)  Every time you install a program or new driver, plus on a schedule, this service creates a "restore point" to roll back to if a problem occurs.  This service would have been nice in the Win95 days due to plenty of problems occurring (new DirectX version every 15 minutes) but not required for the "much" more stable WinXP.  This is the FIRST thing that I get rid of on a clean installation.  If you use this and enjoy it, good for you.  I never will.  I feel it is faster and less hassle to just install clean.  NOTE:  If you disable this service, your previous "restore points" may be deleted.  If for what ever reason you do not want this to happen, do not disable this service. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Task Scheduler ~ This service is used to schedule maintenance, M$ Backup sessions or maybe even Auto Update.  I do everything manuellly, so as to avoid having this service running all the time.  Some third party software may require this service to be active for automated functions, such as Virus Scanners, system maintenance tools, and automatic patch/driver lookups.  Take note:  BootVis Benötigt Task Scheduler  and COM+ Event System to be running if you wish to take advantage of the "optimize system" function.  Why?  It is due to the pre-fetching function built into WinXP.  Another Note:  Pre-fetching only occurs on boot up, so if you do not care about a few extra seconds of boot time, do not even bother with it and disable Task Scheduler. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren unless using the applications listed above. Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service ~ Legacy support for NetBios over TCP/IP.  If your network does not use NetBios and/or WINS, disable this function. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: AFD Networking Support Environment NetBios over TCP/IP
	TCP/IP Printer Server ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Used for setting up a local UNIX print server.  If you do not need this function, leave it uninstalled. tcmj sagt: Leave not installed or deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Print Spooler TCP/IP Protocol Driver
	Telephony ~ Controls telephony devices on the local computer.  This service is Required for dial-up modem connectivity.  Note: you may require this service for some cable or DSL providers, depending on how they implement their logon process.  If your Dial-up, cable or DSL internet access no longer functions properly with this service deaktivieren, place it into Automatic. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren, Automatic if you require dial-up connectivity. Abhängigkeiten: Plug and Play Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Telnet ~ Allows remote login to the local computer via the telnet function.  For security reasons, this service should be deaktivieren unless you specifically require its functionality.  You will save about 2 MB of RAM by plugging this security hole. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: NT LM Security Support Provider Remote Procedure Call (RPC) TCP/IP Protocol Driver
	Terminal Services ~ Allows remote login to the local computer.  This service is Required for Fast User Switching, Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance.  For security reasons, this service should be deaktivieren unless you specifically require its functionality. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Themes ~ Used to display all those pretty new XP themes and colors on your desktop.  If you are memory conscious and do not care about the "new" XP look, disable this service to save RAM. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	Uninterruptible Power Supply ~ I have not found a need for this.  My UPS that connects via USB, does NOT need this service to run.  Windows Update also has a "patch" for this service. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	Universal Plug and Play Device Host ~ Used in conjunction with SSDP Discovery Service, it detects and configures UPnP devices on your home network.  For security reasons and also for the fact that I doubt that you have any of these devices, Disable this service.  If any EXTERNAL device does not function as a result of this service being deaktivieren, place it back in to Automatic.  Take note:  UPnP is NOT related to PnP.  UPnP is used for connectivity on networks via TCP/IP to devices, such as scanners or printers.  Your sound card is PnP.  Do NOT Disable Plug and Play service.   I know that not even Micro$ofts own XBOX uses this Service... tcmj sagt: deaktivieren for security reasons Abhängigkeiten: SSDP Discovery Service
	Upload Manager ~ As with BITS, this service manages file transfers between clients and servers on the network.  This service is NOT required for basic File and Print sharing.  I have yet to find a need for this service.  If you are comfortable with using FTP, stick with it. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Volume Shadow Copy ~ Used in conjunction with the MS Software Shadow Copy Provider Service.  M$ Backup uses these services.  You will receive, in the Event Log, a entry complaining about not having this service running if deaktivieren.  I have yet to find a side effect, though...  If you do not like the errors, place it in manuell.  By leaving it out of automatic, you will save about 3.0 MB of memory. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	WebClient ~ I have not found a reason to have this service running.  I have a hunch that this is going to be required for M$'s "Dot Net Software as a service" crap.  For security reasons, I recommend for this service to be deaktivieren. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: WebDav Client Redirector
	Windows Audio ~ This service is Required if you wish to hear any audio at all.  If your computer does not have a sound card, Disable this service. tcmj sagt: Automatic unless you do not have a sound card, then place it in deaktivieren. Abhängigkeiten: Plug and Play Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) ~ Used for some scanners and cameras.  If, after Disabling this service, your scanner or camera fails to function properly, enable this service. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Windows Installer ~ This service is required for software applications that install using MSI files.  If no applications that you have will install properly or you get an error that involves "RPC Service," place this service in to Automatic or manuell.  Only disable this service after you have completed installation of your applications.  Mainly Office and such.  I am not aware how many Games actually use MSI Files.  In an idle state, this service uses about 3.4 MB of RAM.  Put it to manuell to save that amount. tcmj sagt: manuell Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Windows Management Instrumentation ~ This service is Required if you want to see the "Abhängigkeiten" tab in service configuration and you want everything to go smoothly.  I do not recommend Disabling this service as strange things may start to happen. tcmj sagt: Automatic Abhängigkeiten: Event Log Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Windows Management Instrumentation  Driver Extension ~ Not as vital as Windows Management Instrumentation, but I recommend leaving this service in manuell. tcmj sagt: manuell
	Windows Time ~  Automatically sets your clock by contacting a server on the internet.  Great idea if your network is always connected to the internet, but otherwise, the Event Log fills up with "can not find server" messages.  After successful synching, this service will not attempt to do it again for 7 days...meanwhile, taking up resources.  You may also need Task Scheduler running.  I set my clock manuellly. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren
	Wireless Zero Configuration ~ Automatic configuration for wireless network devices.  If you do not have any wireless network devices in use, Disable this service. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: NDIS Usermode I/O Protocol Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	WMI Performance Adapter ~  I have not found a use for this service.  Save the 2.5 MB to 6 MB of memory this service consumes. tcmj sagt: deaktivieren Abhängigkeiten: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
	Workstation ~ Used to connect local computer to remote computers.  Examples:  Internet connectivity and local File and Print sharing.  Many services depend on Workstation to be functioning.  Leave it on Automatic. tcmj sagt: Automatic
	World Wide Web Publishing Service ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD.  Used for setting up a local web server.  If you do not need this function, leave it uninstalled, mainly because this service Benötigt IIS Admin to be running and IIS has been "popular" for hackers to break. tcmj sagt:deaktivieren bzw. nicht installieren Abhängigkeiten: IIS Admin
