| 357241 | 2005-05-21 09:39:00 | is it ok to disable USB Root Hub's, floppy drive controller, com 1&2 and Via Raid Controller? I dont use any USB ports in the back that i know of. I use my intergrated network for jetstream. Printer sometimes is in LPT1 so i dont wana disable that. I just heard that it free's system resources if i disable them. i have 512mb ram and play games so i duno if its really gona do anything. also should i disable automatic updates, security centre and fast user switchin from services? and how about indexing service? thanks. james |

| 357243 | 2005-05-21 09:45:00 | Disable them in the BIOS USB, RAID, the com ports settings should be here. Smartcards are like eftpos / using id cards.. You swipe a card and it identifies you.. Yer Indexing service doesnt do much. Unless u want to go to Windowsupdates yourself, I dont see anything wrong with disabling auto updates. And yer cant see why u cant disable security centre. That doesnt tell u much besides telling u if a firewall / AV is up to date. |

| 357246 | 2005-05-21 12:04:00 | full tweak guide at tweakguides.com (www.tweakguides.com) there are quite a few unnecessary services turned on by default with XP. Most of the unneeded ones are related to communication between Windows machines . Bit of a mystery why Microsoft likes have loads of services waiting for remote connections... |
