By default, windows xp starts a lot of services. Most are used for good working of Windows, but some of them are unnecessary, and are there only to slower computer performances. More, some of the services expose your computer to attacks, allowing remote users to access your computer.

To access services, go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and run Services, you will get a list with all services, with status and description for each. You can go trough each service and read the description, all are self explanatory, you don't need much knowledge to understand what each means, but i will give you a list with some Services that you can disable without any problems.

1. Alerter

Notifies selected users and computers of administrative alerts. If the service is stopped, programs that use administrative alerts will not receive them. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

I don't think it is necessary for a computer to continuously annoy user with alerts.

2. Application Layer Gateway Service

Provides support for 3rd party protocol plug-ins for Internet Connection Sharing and the Internet Connection Firewall

If you want to share your internet connections leave it on, but i don't think you want to share your connection with others, because almost all internet service providers don't want their users to share internet, and companies or big networks which want to share connection use routers which are cheap.

3. Automatic Updates

Enables the download and installation of critical Windows updates. If the service is disabled, the operating system can be manually updated.

How many times you found automatic updates necessary ? Microsoft software will always have problems, when they try to fix something they will make other security holes, if you want to be secure, you should use a firewall.

4. Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Uses idle network bandwidth to transfer data.

This will work well for automatic updates, but are you sure you want that your computer to connect to internet and download stuff that you don't want to ?

5. ClipBook

Enables ClipBook Viewer to store information and share it with remote computers. If the service is stopped, ClipBook Viewer will not be able to share information with remote computers. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

This will share your clipboard with other computers on the network, seriously, why would you want to do this?

6. Computer Browser

Maintains an updated list of computers on the network and supplies this list to computers designated as browsers. If this service is stopped, this list will not be updated or maintained. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

If you frequently copy files from other computers in your network, don't disable it, else, it is waste of resources.

7. Cryptographic Services

Provides three management services: Catalog Database Service, which confirms the signatures of Windows files; Protected Root Service, which adds and removes Trusted Root Certification Authority certificates from this computer; and Key Service, which helps enroll this computer for certificates. If this service is stopped, these management services will not function properly. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

This is used when you want to pass certificates to the network. Unless you are in a large corporate network you don't need this.

8. Distributed Transaction Coordinator

Coordinates transactions that span multiple resource managers, such as databases, message queues, and file systems. If this service is stopped, these transactions will not occur. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

This is used only if you want to access filesystems and databases on the network.

Probably you have seen enough times the dialog box with "send error report" on it.

High Quality Mp3 Earphones At Budget Prices
As anyone who has read any of my previous mp3 related articles will know (if not, why not) my original quest was to find the best buy cheap mp3 players.That, in fact, proved to be not as difficult as I initially imagined, as I managed to locate at least six great buys under $100, all of which did a great job in terms of features, sound quality and storage space (for the price, of course).I enjoyed testing all of the mp3 players in question.But, I do have a confession to make.I tested each and every one of them using what you might call ‘traditional’ hi-fi headphones, rather than with the in-ear earphones that are supplied as standard with most of the players.The reason for this was very simple.If I am trying to test mp3 players, then, by definition, I want to be able to listen to, and comment on, the sound quality of the

Tips For Buying A Foreclosed House
A foreclosed house is a result of an individual or the previous owner of a particular house being closed to him and is unable or un-wanting to take his house back by releasing it after paying his dues on the mortgage.The house is taken over by the financier, lender or the mortgager and put it up for resale to get the money back by reselling it through an auction or otherwise. The most common reason attributed to the existence of a foreclosed house is the unhealthy financial situation of the current owner.Foreclosed homes are normally advertised in newspapers and local media. The real estate agents may also have some valuable information regarding foreclosed houses.

Credit Control - Manage those Receivables
Much has been written on the subject of cash management, and particularly the need to exercise control over the debtors.For the small business owner this may be easier said than done.Administrative help may not be available, or may only be there on a part-time basis, and the credit control function may form only part of an employee’s job description. Then of course there is the level of expertise and knowledge that may be required to ensure settlement of debt is achieved. This may not have formed part of a general accounts clerk’s training.Credit Controllers who are qualified by experience may be acceptable, but those qualified through formal training in the subject of credit control collections may adopt an entirely outlook.What does this mean for the small business owner?Indeed the business owner may also be the credit cont

Salary & Rewards To Maximise Employee Retention
Many people consider poor salaries and rewards to be THE reason why people leave an employer. However, extensive research into why people leave jobs shows this not to be the case. There are a number of differing factors that explain why someone chooses to move on.But what is clear is that a team member’s dissatisfaction with pay is very often the catalyst for them to start looking. An individual may already be frustrated with a number of factors, but the financial factors typically act as the ‘trigger’ to update their CV and start applying for new positions.This means that getting your pay structure right really is a key aspect of retaining the right people.But when it comes to setting pay levels, it is not necessarily about “paying the most”, but more about ensuring that the way you remunerate your team is fair, consistent and competitive

Term life insurance has always been known to be a cost effective vehicle to protect your family should you pass away unpredictably. It offers basic, no-nonsense coverage so that your spouse and children could continue living in the same fashion you have accustomed them to while you were alive and working. Even though term life insurance is comparatively inexpensive, it would still be wise to shop out the different carriers as policies vary, as do premiums and provisions.
