What Services Do You Really Need?
With the help of BlackViper I was able to trim the number of services running on my machine to a bare minimum. Here’s what I have running:
- DCOM Server Process Launcher
- Event Log
- Network Connections
- Plug and Play
- Remote procedure Call (RPC)
- Themes
- Windows Audio
- Workstation
BlackViper is an excellent source for information on trimming services. He has recomendations for “Safe” and “Bare Bones”.
