Disable unnecessary services
I am working on a list of services for my article about disabling unnecessary services. So far I have the following services:
Computer Browser
Error Reporting Service
Help and Support
Indexing Service
Messenger
NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing
Performance Logs and Alerts
Protected storage (this service stores passwords and enables auto-complete for web forms)
Remote Registry (this service allows remote access to your registry)
Routing and Remote Access (this service enables dial-in routing to your computer if you use this)
Secondary Logon
Task Scheduler
If you have any more services that you know can be safely disabled, please feel free to leave a comment with the service and a quick description of the service. Thanks for any help.
