There is a site called blackviper dot com. You can find which are there but remember something that is safe now may not be 6 months from now when you install a new application that needs one of them and chances are you wont remember which.
Leave services alone. In lots of testing, I was almost unable to prove any benefit whatsoever to shutting down services and in most cases the system performed worse with services disabled.
There are many services that a user never uses. So what is wrong in discontinuing these services and making many others manual from automatic? If one has patience and discontinues one or two services at a time then heavens are not going to fall. Wait for a few days to see the effect of the service(s) that has been discontinued. If the computer starts behaving erratically after a service is discontinued it could be brought right back.
Discontinuing services is a step forward in our learning process. Trouble only takes place if we discontinue too many of them at a time and if the computer starts giving trouble we don't remember the changes that were made because there were so many of them.
^ The trouble is 2 fold.
#1). Mostly performance won't improve...so it's a bit of work with little to no reward
#2). You "could" disable something today that you won't discover to be a problem for a few months when installing some other software or using a function within a piece of software that you don't often use. And you may not remember that 1 off service that you previously decided to no longer run.
