There are a few things I would like to see if anyone knows. First, can the Plug & Play service be disabled, or does this break your system. I really don't like it. Second, I don't like how I get thumbnail images in explorer for JPEG's(doesn't seem to do it for Bitmaps), can this be disabled? I found a key in the registry that said something about thumbnail autoextract and set it to '0', but that didn't do anything. Also, I disable all the services I don't need, including Server service. I get errors in event viewer(they don't actually affect my session, I just want to get rid of them) regarding perfnet counters. In Comp Management, in the performance log area, nothing is set up, but it still seems to be counting stuff(I get other messages in event viewer about performance counting things). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
