Do NOT use msconfig to play with services.

Find the services option under Administrative Tools.

Some guidance about what might be stopped, etc. might be found here:

Generally speaking, you should keep all the Microsoft services just as
they are. There may be some tweaks you can do, but they're probably not
worth doing.

What are the six non-MS services? They're probably fine just as they
are, too, but since it's only six, you may want to research what they
are.

The hell they aren't. Freeing up RAM comes to mind for one thing.

There are many services running that are not needed. Period. Do some
research on the subject and you'll get an education.

Many multiple services are perfectly normal in XP even if you clean out
third party apps.

Since your statement is so broad, I will make one.

Many multiple services are not perfectly normal for a lot of users.
