Thanks a lot that site was fantastic. I can see I will be busy. There used to be a good site called BlackViper for XP which was helpful in switching off many unnecessary and in some cases dangerous services left on by default.
I have not yet seen anything like that which is credible and safe for Vista. It is needed more than ever as the number of services running seems to have doubled.
It may be many are needed but I am sure many are redundant or worse - has anyone ay thoughts on that?
