DL. Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 @Sgt_Strider:Indexing: Speeds up searching by indexing files, see this link.Windows Audio: Provides and controls all audio support for Windows, see this one.Windows Time: Syncronizes the system time with a timeserver.Removable Storage: No it doesn't, may however affect tape drives or others.Read some more on the subject of services for example here, or search.No offence, but you really need to start searching for the info before asking in the forums.

kelaniz Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Just an observation: In the readme, it says that Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extension is one of the vital services that should be set to automatic, or at worst, manual. In my experience, that service is not only not vital, it's completely useless and can be safely disabled. I've left it disabled on (at least) 500 systems over the years that ranged from domain/web/file/print servers to all types of workstations. Never had anything even try to access it, much less any problems from disabling it. Since it doesn't seem to frivolously start, leaving it on manual is probably safer than disabling it, but I'm somewhat of a control freak, so I just really like seeing all that MS crap with "Disabled" next to it and know, at least on some level, *I* still control my box, not Microsoft. -KZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL. Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 @phaolo: I haven't had any problems after deleting the "special accounts", and I always do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaolo Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Oh hello DL.Mm.. maybe the problems appear in specific situations.Anyway ok, I'll try to delete them; hope you're right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL. Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) @phaolo: If you use any of those applications there might be some reason to keep them.If you want to show or hide a user account on the XP-login screen (administrator for example, see this link) you may need to set a value in the subkey [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogin\SpecialAccounts\UserList].You can do that after deleting the key you mentioned.
