I have a msall VBS file that shuts down spoolsvr (Net STOP SPOOLER)
since I do not need it except when printing. Just performs a Net STOP
and Net START.

1. Can I shut down SSDPSRV, PLUGPLAY, WDFMGR and "WMDM PMSP Service"
and start as needed-or just some of these and under what conditions????
I did review these on Google but still am not sure.

Just want every ounce of performance as needed.

2. I am not sure if SSDPSRV, WDFMGR shut down would cause any

2b. problems. Also not sure what "Net STOP XXXXXX" command to use to
shut down WDFMGR.

3. Could not NET STOP "WMDM PMSP Service", it tried to stop it but
could not. I saw no dependencies. I have "Portable Media Serial Number"
disabled.

4. Finally, I have my PC behind a router but NAT is NOT turned on. I do
have a paid (Sygate) software firewall but wonder if I could get away
with disabling that and just using the router and the Windows built-in
"semi" firewall.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Patty,

   Sorry for not actually answering your question, but you should
find this site of great interest.  It is for "Super Tweaking" XP:

       http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/supertweaks.htm

It goes in to a lot of similar stuff to what you are asking.

HTH,
