If you can't do it that way then you can use one of these stream utilities: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897440.aspx Streams http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/alternate_data_streams.html AlternateStreamView - View/Copy/Delete NTFS Alternate Data Streams http://www.merijn.nu/programs.php (Look for ADS Spy) John

Likewise net start .... http://bellsouthpwp.net/b/i/billurie/startlist.txt is the complete file. I see there about 90% of the items I really wouldn't know what to do with. If you'd like to suggest which I can relegate to "Manual" or even "Off" I'd be willing to give it a go. Bill Lurie

I have a pretty busy day so I probably won't be able to to get back to you until later today. Do you share a printer with others? If no you can start by disabling File and Printer Sharing, you don't share files and no one accesses your computer on a network so you may as well close this hole the size of Texas on the machine... It's relatively safe when properly secured but it's still a hole the size of Texas and if you don't need it close it. http://safecomputing.umn.edu/guides/fileandprint.html Disable Network Sharing http://www.nnex.net/tech/winxp/file_print.htm Disable File and Print Sharing in Windows XP http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6600_7-6344921-1.html CNET Security Center How to disable File and Printer Sharing John

I disabled file and printer sharing. When you have time, I welcome your pointing me toward other stuff that is in the tasklist that can be switched to manual. I assume that 'manual' means it does not load on startup but still can be loaded when needed. Bill

A suggestion for you. Do a Google for 'windowsxp services tweak guide' and print it out. It has proven very helpful for me. It explains all services and what settings should be. "William B.
