How to Speedup your PC by disabling various Service
How to Speedup your PC by disabling various Services.
Windows XP has a lot of services, some of which are not needed for normal use. To speed up and increase your systems security, disable these services.
To enter service manager-
Go to Start > Run and type services.msc and hit enter.
Scroll down and highlight the service you want to adjust, right-click on it and choose Properties.
Now click the stop button and select Disable or Manual in the Startup Type scroll bar.
:idea: A useful tip is that instead of disabling something you are unsure of, set it to manual. When you restart your machine if that service has started then it is probably required by one of your components or software products. If it is still OFF then consider disabling it for greater protection.
Here’s the list of useless services:
Alerter - notifies selected users and computers of administrative alerts. If this service is turned off, applications that use the NetAlertRaise or NetAlertRaiseEx APIs will be unable to notify a user or computer (by a Message Box from the Messenger service) that the administrative alert took place.
Recommendation: Disabled.
Application Layer Gateway Service - Provides support for 3rd party plug-ins for Internet Connection Sharing/Internet Connection Firewall. Required if using Internet Connection Sharing/Internet Connection Firewall to connect to the internet.
Recommendation: Automatic if using ICS, Disabled if not.
Application Management - Used for Assign, Publish and Remove software services. If you can not modify your software installation of certain applications, put this service in to Automatic or Manual.
Recommendation: Disabled
