Default Telephony & Remote Access Connection Manager (services) - are they needed?

Does Skype (and similar such services) use it?


I have it disabled on my Win7 laptop, and Skype works fine. It being
the only one I've use, I can't speak for similar applications.

Unless you plan on allowing Remote Access to your PC, or remote into
someone else's PC, you can also disable RACM. (also disabled on mine)

Similar question - do TeamViewer and the like use that, or only
Microsoft's own remote-access utilities?


I don't know about Team Viewer, but TightVNC doesn't require it (or at
least the version I used years back didn't).


Thanks for those.


You're welcome!
