If this service is stopped, these tasks will not be ;run at their scheduled times. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start. You use this ;service to schedule maintenance, Microsoft Backup sessions, or maybe even Auto Update. I do everything manually, to avoid ;having this service running all the time. Some third party software may require this service to be active for ;automated functions, ;such as virus scanners, system maintenance tools, and automatic patch/driver lookups. ;Take note: ;BootVis requires Task Scheduler and COM+ Event System to be running if you wish to take advantage of the "optimize system" ;function. Why may you need this service? It is due to the pre-fetching function built into Windows XP. ;Another Note: ;Pre-fetching only occurs on boot up and application start, so if you do not care about a few extra seconds of boot time, do not ;even bother with it and disable Task Scheduler.

Note: you may ;require this service for some direct cable or DSL providers, depending on how they implement their logon process or some ;AOL functionality, depending on software used. If Dial-up, cable or DSL internet access no longer functions properly with this ;service disabled, place it into automatic.

Remove the ;function via the "Add / Remove Programs" icon in the control panel (Windows Setup Programs). It uses about 500 K to 2 MB in ;an idle state, not to mention the amount of memory and CPU resources it takes to INDEX the drives. I have had people (and ;witnessed it on other people's computers) report to me that the Indexing Service sometimes starts up EVEN while the system ;is NOT idle... as in the middle of a game.

This is ;practically the only service that does do this! If you still cannot burn a CD with it on manual, switch to automatic and feel safe ;that it starts only when "needed." This service may take up about 1.6 MB of memory in an idle state.
