   The three examples are not enabled by default on any Windows client =
OS.  For Windows Server OS releases I don't believe these three were = ever
enabled by default but my memory is fuzzy for Windows 2000.  = Windows
Server 2003 did not and Windows NT 4.0 and earlier didn't = include these
features in the base product.

   What you do is randomly disable services which you don't even =
understand.  You have broken your system with your flailing.

  Oh and one for Rich:

  Recommendations
  Symantec Security Response encourages all users and administrators to =
adhere
  to the following basic security "best practices":

  Turn off and remove unneeded services. By default, many operating =
systems
  install auxiliary services that are not critical, such as an FTP =
server,
  telnet, and a Web server. These services are avenues of attack. If =
they are
  removed, blended threats have less avenues of attack and you have =
fewer
  services to maintain through patch updates.

  So remember this Rich when you start complaining about me shutting =
down all
  those extra services in Vista...

  Geo.
