Close unwanted services for Safer & faster XP

To disable unneeded startup services for a safer, faster XP, use the "Services" Admin Tool (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services). If you are a single user of a non-networked machine, you can disable the following items, with no ill effect.

->Alerter
->Clipbook
->Computer Browser
-> Fast User Switching
-> Human Interface Access Devices
-> Indexing Service (Slows the hard drive down)
-> Messenger
->Net Logon (unnecessary unless networked on a Domain)
->Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (disabled for extra security)
-> Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (disabled for extra security)
-> Remote Procedure Call Locator
-> Remote Registry (disabled for extra security)
-> Routing & Remote Access (disabled for extra security)
-> Server
-> SSDP Discovery Service (this is for the utterly pointless "Universal P'n'P", & leaves TCP Port 5000 wide open)
-> TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
-> Telnet (disabled for extra security)
->Universal Plug and Play Device Host
-> Upload Manager
-> Windows Time
-> Wireless Zero Configuration (for wireless networks)
-> Workstation.
Thus doing this your system performance will boost up.
