Re: Administrative Tools Services

I changed the setting according to the list you gave me and now my backup
does not work again!

My backup would not work. I found "Default settings for services" on the
Windows XP website at
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sys_srv_default_settings.mspx?mfr=true.
I set my settings according to the list and I have found several missing
services, for example, Internet Connection Sharing, Remote Registry, Smart
Card Helper, Telnet, UaPnP Device Host, Upload Manager, and Utility
Manager -
all gone! Then I found some services that are not on the list. Some I know
what they are and where they came from. Others, I have no clue but at
least
one of them was stopping my backup from starting. Here is the ones I have
no
clue about: IPv6 Helper Service, ASP.NET State Service, .NET Runtime
Optimization Service v2.0.50727_x86, HTTP SSL, InstallDriver Table
Manager,
iPodService, RIP Listener, Server, Machine Debug Manager, Peer Networking
Group Authentication, Peer Networking Identity Manager, Peer Networking,
Peer
Name Resolution Protocol, Cyberlink RichVideo Service (CRVS), Remote
Packet
Capture Protocol v.0 (experimental), Simple TCP/IP Services, SNMP Service,
SNMP Trap Service, Universal Plug and Play Device Host, Windows Defender
Service, Windows Media Connect Service, and Network Provisioning Service.
My
backup is working now that I set everything back to the default settings
but
I don't know which ones to remove or how to remove them. The only new ones
I
recently installed were all Microsoft Stuff like Windows Defender Service,
Windows Media Connect Service, etc. I am afraid that if I disable them
all,
which I did, that some things are not going to work right or my system is
going to be vunerable. I am equally afraid that if I do enable them that
they
could be a virus and wipe out my system restore and backup like they did
before. Can you give me advise on what to do with each one, for example,
dig
this and enable that, etc. I am running Windows SP Home Edition SP2 on a
1.6
GB machine (home made)

This list is pre SP2 and outdated.
Service Pack 2 modified many services and added others.
For example, Messenger was disabled by SP2 (so were other services) for
security reasons. On this list Messenger shows as Automatic.
Additionnally, the services.msc help file does not reflect SP2 changes.
Unfortunately Microsoft did not update the help file. Perhaps they will in a
future update ;-)

I have compiled a list of default services pre and post SP2 for both Home
and Pro editions in excel as tested on my machine.

E-mail me directly at woundedbackREMOVETHIS@xxxxxxxxxxxx and I can mail you
the file. If you don't have excel installed, a reader is available from
Microsoft.
