Hello: I help maintain my Dad's (Windows XP Home) computer using VNC over SSH... from a distance of about 1500 miles.
I would like to disable some Windows Services on his computer to (hopefully) reduce boot time and speed up the computer a bit. My understanding of what Windows services are required by VNC and SSH isn't clear. There are a number of services that affect network and remote access capabilities. I'm uncertain (not knowing much at all about networks) as to whether the VNC/SSH connection actually constitutes a 'network' or whether I could safely disable the network related Windows services? (My Dad is not networked to any other computer at home, nor is he likely to need the capability.) Similarly, are the remote access Windows services only required for Windows' default remote desktop capability or for (Real) VNC as well? My Dad is pretty helpless when it comes to computer configuration of any kind and I do <NOT> want to disable anything required by either VNC/SSH as it would require an onsite tech to put things right. I'm wondering if anyone here can help advise me about this...? Thanks Very Much.
