Many have asked and there's been multiple attempts at showing a list of minimal
services to operate XP. This is my attempt to list services used on a laptop where battery
power is a main concern. Reducing startups and services is a major means to reduce paging and conserve memory usage.
That said, the attachment is an export from XP/Pro SP2 Services.msc into a
spreadsheet, sorting it on the Startup Type {Auto,Disabled,Manual}.
The results attached here is a TAB Delimited txt file for easy import or just raw
viewing with notepad.exe
Clearly there are specific services from my hardware (Toshiba MX35-s161) and
installed software that will differ for every user, but this can be a starting point
to help you trim your system to a lean-mean machine.
