This link will take you to a site that will help you set your Win2k and Win XP services to run your computer faster and smoother. I used their info to disable 21 services that by default were running and using CPU and RAM. The difference in stability is amazing. System boots and shuts down faster also. The site and all info is free. The changes are easy to do and can be undone if they do disrupt anything. There are a few settings that you should not touch but they are clearly explained. Happy holidays. http://www.blackviper.com/WIN2K/servicecfg.htm
