asubaseball727 Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 I have 44 currently and I am looking to end some of the useless ones. However, I am confused on what some of them do. Are there ones that MS runs that are completely useless like the services specified in Rom-Dos's guide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
