Default Service Listing for XP RC1
This is a discussion about Default Service Listing for XP RC1 in the Windows Hardware category; Hi I was experiencing some network slowness on my home network, one machine with XP RC1/WinME dual-boot, the other computer runs just ME. I decided to play around with some of the Services in XP, and now I can't connect to the internet at all.
Hi
I was experiencing some network slowness on my home network, one machine with XP RC1/WinME dual-boot, the other computer runs just ME. I decided to play around with some of the Services in XP, and now I can't connect to the internet at all. I tried playing around a bit more and think I screwed some other settings up.
Does anyone know of a website that lists all Windows XP services and waht they do? Or if someone has/could make a list of the default settings for XP Services?
I had already disabled System Restore, so I can't go back and restore the settings.
Thanks

2 things 1st NEVER disable a service, set it to manual unless you KNOW you won't need it.
2nd here is a list of services you can disable in 2k safely a lot of these are in XP so if something isnt in the list re-enable it and it should fix your problem. As for what services do what most of them say in the properties box of the service
Services:
Alerter
Com+
Diskeeper (if not running, no point in enabling it)
Application Management
Clipbook
Computer Browser
Distributed Link Client
Distributed Transaction Coordinator

Indexing Service
Internet Connection Sharing
Logical Disk Manager
Administrative Service
Messenger Net Logon
NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing Service
Network DDE
Network DDE DSDM
NT LM Security Support Provider
Performance Logs & Alerts
Print Spooler (unless printing or faxing)
QoS RSVP Service
Remote Access Auto Connection Manager (I use cablemodem is why...)
Remote Access Connection Manager (I use cablemodem is why...)
Remote Procedure call RPC Locator
Remote Registry Service (LOL, obvious! Security)
Routing & Remote Access (not doing RAS)

SmartCard
SmartCardHelper
System Event Notification Service
Task Scheduler (not running any batch processes)
Telnet (gee, wonder why?? Security!)

OP
Thanks so much for your help. I went through and set everything I disabled to Manual. After rebooting, I still was unable to connect to the internet. I then started the Messenger service, and all of the sudden I had an internet connection. And now the stupid Messenger icon is back in my system tray. Not great, but better than no internet at all.
Thanks
Thanks
