Is there a good source of documentation somewhere on what window services I
can safely disable. I believe that there are approximately 80 windows
services starting up on my Vista PC. I know I do not need all of these. It
would be nice if there was documentation showing a brief description of each
service and why you need this service running and if you can safely disable
it. Anyone have a link they can provide. What about a script to perform
this action also.
