That's a good call Russ. I actually meant to include that link in my previous post as well, but forgot. Indeed I did use their information. And since you reminded me of it, I was thinking that I was a little conservative in my "pruning" and decided to see if I could get a little more aggressive. I ended up disabling 5 more services with no ill effects. In fact, it was a very nice improvement in SQ. I'm including screen captures again for those that would like to compare (showing only 11 services running). (Bear in mind I am not using any network/internet functions, so those are disabled).
