I know of this website which does a decent job at explaining what each service does: http://www.dead-eye.net/WinXP%20Services.htm Nothing relevant to security implications specifically, but it's a start I guess. Point in case, there's actually few services that are vitals, and a quite a few that are completely useless. What would be nice is a security configuration wizard like the one found in Windows Server 2003 SP1. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
