locking down windows to run as a server on XP Pro

[Ringo Kamens]

1. Just provide a list of which services you wish to disable, and we
can tell you which ones you need/don't need
2. No. However, I wouldn't trust that PGP version because it's closed
source. It used to be open source, then it went closed. Hmm...
backdoors?

I would like to disable as many unnecessary windows services as possible but would like to check if Tor or the Vidalia bundle implicitly relies on any particular windows services in order to function. Are there any windows services I absolutely should not disable, perhaps services that are maybe not that obvious?
