Just read the XP Tweaking Guide.
I read another guide a few days ago that suggested resetting the services all to manual (the ones you can, that is). Then rebooting and running your normal stuff. Next step is to go back into services and see just which ones windows had to start up to support your activity, and reseting just those to automatic.
Warning, your system will be very slow duringthis process.
I will try to post a link to the guide, and am asking for your input on this method, as it seems fishy. I mean wouldn't XP do this sort of thing on its own??? Checking for active but unused services should be like part of the "new and improved" by now, don't you think???
