You are correct Mikey. Only works on the Ultimate version.

10 Windows XP services you should never disable.
Agree or disagree ??? If you disagree, why ???

1503

Bob, I think you have the wrong link there, leads to the google voice scandal from the other thread ???

edit: I’m guessing it is this one: http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=23089

I wouldn’t mess with any of them, they sound fairly important…(as far as my knowledge goes anyway ;))

The DNS Client isn’t essential, depending on your use, mine is set to Manual (I don’t disable if any doubt then anything that requires it can start it) and it has never started.

Thanks, I've made the correction. :-[

1: DNS Client Disagree. It is only needed if the system is part of a corporate network using Active Directory domain controllers:

If you are using a large HOSTS file such as hpHosts then it will really slow down the browser.

I agree the rest especially with:

There are so many people that disable this because they do not trust Microsoft.
I have not had a problem having Automatic Updates active.

At least they should have Notify me about updates but do not download them nor install them

Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File

You can use a HOSTS file to block ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and even most hijackers. This is accomplished by blocking the connection(s) that supplies these little gems.

There’s no place like 127.0.0.1

The cookies get deleted daily as a routine and I don't get any "adverts" ;D (When there's nothing to hide, tracking cookies are meaningless.)
