antimatter Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I recently found a website that explained all the services in windows xp and said if you can turn it off or not. I was wondering if anyone knows a site that tells you which services are unneccisary and can be turned off in windows server 2003 standard edition. The site for the xp one was: http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htmThank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayroller Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 I used BlackVipers XP guide to trim the services in 2003 Standard Ed., its quite similar in application, throw in a dash of common sense - if it looks important, try stopping it first and see what happens - and I've got the memory overhead down to 74MB with no problems.
