Network Services Disabled?

angus49 · 05-13-2008, 06:26 AM

This morning I was going through my services page to check out a couple of things and found some items I have questions about. I hope someone can help me with these.

All of these services are listed as Disabled. Network DDE, Network DDE DSDM, NET.Tcp Port Sharing Service, Human Interface Device Access Service.

The Wireless Zero Configuration is enabled and set to auto, but do I even need this enabled if I am not using wireless?

Thanks for any help.

You don't need WZC if you don't have wireless, the Network DDE, Network DDE DSDM are normally disabled. I don't have the NET.Tcp Port Sharing Service or Human Interface Device Access Service, so I can't say, but I suspect it's OK.
