Windows XP essentially runs all of your Windows.  As such, Windows XP starts and runs a plethora of services every time you start up your computer system.  The thing about this is that while Windows XP starts a variety of services, the chances of you actually requiring of all of these services is slim to none.  Ultimately, Windows XP starts every service available, even though you may only need a slim portion of these services.

By running all of the available services, Windows XP uses a lot of your system’s operating capacities.  This means that there is less of your system available for you to accomplish what you set out to do on your computer.  The bottom line here is that this results in inefficiency.  And if you are anything like most computer users, efficiency is at the top of your priorities when it comes to using your computer system.

The solution here is to shut down the services ran by Windows XP that you do not need or intend to use.  There is more than one method of shutting down services you do not need.  One possible way is to use the tab Services from the page MSCONFIG and manually turn off the undesired services.  A better method of shutting down unused services is by using the Services Management Tool from your Control Panel.  With this tool you can more effectively manage which services you wish to keep on your system.

Even after shutting down services you do not require, Windows XP may not run as smoothly as you would like it to.  There is more you can do to ensure Windows XP is running at its full capacity. Download Regcure to optimize Windows XP in under two minutes!
