All these services are enabled except "print spooler" which you will need to enable in "services.msc".

to use the Functionality you need, For example:
a printer, just click the green square icon near the start button.

There you can double click the service you need to use and even a novice user can now read the service descriptions and decide what to enable and what to keep disabled.

For example : if you have a Dial-Up connection (for example: ADSL Broadband) then it says "Dial-Up Connection" in the services as opposed to the long and overly technical descriptions put in by Microsoft by default.

The services window can be set so you can see all service names and all columns in the services window are fully visible. Just click "Standard" at the bottom and double click all the columns
at the top where the top row joins the columns. When you install some programs, they might put a new service in and add their own long and overly technical descriptions, nevermind, its nice whilst it lasts.

[WHAT YOU CANNOT DO]

This is a greatly reduced installation of Windows XP Professional SP3

Please read these notes BEFORE using this edition of Windows:

- STANDALONE SYSTEM ONLY

No local networking is possible. The "Network Connections" service has been kept in this edition of Windows to stop errors when installing Ethernet card or modem drivers.
The "Network Connections" service is not there to support LAN networking.
You can of course just try to plug another computer into your MicroXP computer, but networking in this way is not guaranteed to work, because the related services for this are removed (Computer Browser and Workstation).

- SINGLE USER ONLY

You cannot add any additional users. Do not try to add more users, otherwise your main account that is used by default (Administrator) will become the new account and after logging in, you will not have any desktop theme (not even Classic) and the whole account will be ruined. You'll probably have to install Windows again because if you make a new account it replaces Administrator" and tries to log you in with "Default User" - the problem with this is - there is no "Default User" anymore.

- NO WEBCAMS, SCANNERS OR DIGITAL CAMERAS

You cannot use these devices in this version of Windows, because the "Windows Image Acquisition" service is removed.

- NO NATIVE SUPPORT FOR FTP SITES

There is no "built in" support for downloading from FTP sites, try using Filezilla or WS_FTP if you need to do that. Even just Opera or Firefox can probably do it. This functionality is gone
because the "Application Layer Gateway" service is gone, along with ALG.EXE that normally runs in Task Manager, taking up about 6Mb RAM for what amounts to no reason.

- NO VISITING WINDOWS UPDATE

You cannot visit Windows Update with this version of Windows because Internet Explorer is removed. You can manually download updates from Microsoft and you can also use the alternative
"Windiz" Update website through Opera or Firefox. Because so much has been removed from this edition of Windows, you are not likely to be any more "safe" installing updates for Windows.
NOTE: Because this edition of Windows uses a patched "winlogon.exe" in order to remove the "oembios.bin" file, you really should not update Windows anyway, in case "winlogon.exe" gets replaced by an update. There are more details about this in the eXPerience folder on the desktop once MicroXP is installed.

- NO FAST USER SWITCHING

Apart from you only being able to have the one account anyway (Administrator) the ability to do Fast User Switching is also removed.

- NO PASSWORD STORAGE/AUTOCOMPLETE

Windows will not save stored passwords, however, this only really applied to Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, which are removed. You will be fine using Firefox or Opera web rowsers and Thunderbird email client for emails. Those are self contained programs and take care of storing your passwords by themselves.


- NO CD-ROM AUTOPLAY

When you insert a CD that would bring up a screen to install the program contained on the CD, this does not happen in this version of Windows, you will have to explore the CD manually and run whatever file it is that runs the program's setup, usually "setup.exe" on the root of the CD. If the CD has a file called "AUTORUN.INF" then open that file and look at which .exe file is listed in "AUTORUN.INF"


- NO SMART CARD DETECTION


- NO SCHEDULED TASKS

You cannot set programs, like AntiVirus or Hard Disk Defrag programs to run in the future IF they need the Scheduled Tasks service in Windows. If you are going to run those types of programs you will have to manually scan or defrag whenever it is convenient. Despite this, one program that will schedule its operations is Perfectdisk defrag, you do not need Task Scheduler for this program to run a scheduled defrag.


- NO REMOTE DESKTOP

There is no Remote Desktop in this version of Windows because the "Terminal Services" service is removed.

- NO THEMES

You cannot have the Luna (Blue/Olive/Silver) desktop theme in this version of Windows, the only theme you can choose is "Windows Classic" which it is already set to by default. You can however install "Windowblinds" if you want to and it will work fine, Windowblinds does not rely on the Themes service. You could even make MicroXP look like Vista with the "Ironjer" AeroGlass The Remix V4. Use v4 not v5 of that if you use it.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

- NO "UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY" SERVICE

I always thought "UPS Service" delivered parcels but apparently not, if you have this type of device then it will not work on this version of Windows. A UPS is only used for emergencies like if you have a power cut - thats if you even have such a device.


[WHAT YOU CAN DO]

- PROGRAMS -

You can still install and run just about all the programs and games that you can run on a normal installation of XP.
There is a text filein the eXPerience folder on the desktop that has a list of programs that work and includes some that don't work (not many).
Even Office 2007 installs on this version of Windows.


- GAMES -

Up to now, there has not been one single report of any game not working on MicroXP.
Gaming is what this edition of Windows is all about, it gives better benchmarks than any other version of Windows I have ever tested.


- DIAL-UP CONNECTION -

You can still use a Dial-Up connection (Broadband or old 56k modem). This is the one major flaw in other stripped out operating systems, a lot of UK users still use a modem with broadband... in this edition, RAS Dial-Up/PPPoE/DSL/ADSL connectivity is OK as well as old 56k modems. Yes, try this install on a Pentium II or even an old 486 might run it! They had 75Mhz processors and 8Mb RAM with 4Mb graphics cards.


- WEB BROWSER -

Includes Internet Explorer 6.


- PASSES WGA CHECKS

If you go to download for example, Windows Media Player 11 from Microsoft's downloads section, you will need to "validate" windows by running the "GenuineCheck.exe" file that Microsoft asks you to download as part of the "Windows Genuine Advantage" checks. Its fine to do this, don't be scared of your key being blacklisted.



- WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11

You can install Windows Media Player 11 in this edition of Windows.


- WMV STREAMS -

Once you have installed Opera, Firefox, Netscape or the browser of your choice, as long as you install Windows Media Player 11, you can stream Windows Media Videos from websites like the BBC's News website, or anywhere that has WMV streams.
This is possible because there are three DLL files added to the "Windows Media Player" folder in "Program Files".
