Windows 2000 Server includes a lot of system services. In most cases, you don’t need them all, 
and you could free some additional memory by disabling unneeded services. While disabling services is easy (you just click some buttons), disabling the wrong service could mean disaster.
To locate services you don’t need, just open the Services console from the Administrative Tools folder and look at the Description column. Or you can double-click a service and look at the Description box. Optimize system services in Windows 2000 Server
