This is, in most cases, a fact with OEM versions of Windows XP Home. If you find you need a service, place it in Automatic. Depending on your configuration, not all services will start when required while in 'Manual' mode.
If you discover something other than these listed here running, another program installed them.
All of these services are 'Standard' with Windows XP.Before disabling any service, check out the Windows XP SP3 Services Information.Do NOT use 'msconfig' to disable services, type ' services.msc' in the Run box instead! ( Why?).It is here for archive purposes only, however, the information is still valid today as when I wrote the guide in 2002.
