Few doubts on Services (Components section)


Alps

Recommended Posts

Hi all!
I'm choosing the components to remove from my cd (Win XP Pro) and in the services section there are 3 which I don't know whether taking out.
First, a red component, HTTP SSL: considering that I'm not going to use Internet Explorer, is it safe to remove it even if I use SSL for e-mail or other services?
Second, another red component, SNMP: there is a generic reference to printer support and agents that monitor the activity in network devices and report to the network console workstation. Does it have something to do with router connection, USB devices for connecting to the local router or stuff like that? If wireless printing support (or USB printing) is needed, can SNMP be safely removed anyway?
Third, a black component, Network DDE: does its removal affect the local router connection and security issues?
Fourth, another black component, QoS RSVP (and related QoS): does it have something to do with internet USB keys (such as dLink) for router connection (or HSDPA connection)? If so, should I keep it?

Following the full list of components in Services section:

Alerter
Application Layer Gateway
Automatic Updates
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
Beep Driver
COM+
DHCP Client

Distributed Link Tracking Client
Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC)
DNS Client

Net Logon
Network Access Protection (NAP)
Network DDE
Network Location Awareness (NLA)

Telnet Server
Terminal Services
Text Services Framework

Uninterruptible Power Supply
Universal Plug and Play
Volume Shadow Copy
WebClient
Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
Windows Management Instrumentation

Windows Time
Wired AutoConfig
Wireless Configuration


Lastly, this is my list of components to remove: Alerter, Application Layer Gateway, Distributed Link Tracking Client, Error Reporting, IMAPI CD burning com services, Indexing Services, Messenger, QoS RSVP, Remote Registry, Removable Storage, Service Advertising Protocol, TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, Telnet, Text Services Framework, Volume Shadow Copy.
Since I use a router connection (sometimes a HSDPA key), do you think that removal of any of the components of my list would badly affect my internet connection?

Do you think I could include something else on my components list, something absolutely unuseful that I missed at first sight?
