Windows XP tech questions
#2
If you feel like listing shit, go for it.

Services, there's a lot of. I don't really remember if XP's MSCONFIG lets you know which have been started and which haven't, but if it does, only list the started ones here. If MSCONFIG doesn't tell you what's been started, then open Services under Administrative Tools.

Startup is basically the same, shit starting from the registry. Go ahead and list what's there (name and program location) if ya like and I'm sure the crap can be weeded out.

WINIPCFG is gone. XP is NT-based, and NT & 2000 never had WINIPCFG. Nope, you get to regress to a command-line utility! Open up a command prompt (Start, Run, cmd... or like "Run Program" I think, if you haven't switched over from the disgustingly cute interface to Classic mode) and then at the prompt type IPCONFIG.

IPCONFIG /? will give you a list of things to do. I'm sure the most important stuff will be IPCONFIG /RELEASE, IPCONFIG /RENEW, and IPCONFIG /ALL.
