PSQLWGE (your services) is Window Workgroup Engine. That and
'lanmanworkstation' indicate to me that other computers have access to your
computer.

No, I have XP/Home Edition/SP2 .....
And, to my knowledge, I installed no
Workgroup Engine.

Your XP is Professional? Did you install Windows Workgroup Engine?

Yes, and maybe John can devise a way to tell us why
it is being reset.

Well, forgive me but I surely have to wonder what it is that is going
on at your end...

The last batch file that I asked you to run would have changed some
of the start values of some of the services but I note some
inconsistencies:

Ati HotKey Poller set to Manual now it' Disabled. Not that it
matters but who disabled this?

Browser set to Manual now it's back on Auto. Who set this back to
Auto? You told me that you have a stand alone desktop and that
definitely you are not on a network. The Browser service maintains
the browse list, a list of of all available servers on domains or a
list of available computers on workgroups. The Browser service does
broadcast announcements over the network at specific time intervals
(like every 12 minutes, until the Master Browser tells it to shut up)
and plays a role in the assignment of browser tasks to specific
computers on the network. You have no network... why is the Browser
service on Auto? Maybe someone wants this thing barking every 12
minutes....

lanmanserver set to Disabled now it's Manual. No network, no file
and printer sharing so as far as I'm concerned this should be set to
disabled, Manual might also be fine but the point is, who changed it
from Disabled to Manual?

LexBceS still set to Auto. This is part of your Lexmark printer
software, if the printer and all its software was removed I have to
wonder why is this service still present...

psqlWGE set to Manual now it's bact to Auto. What is this thing?
What software are you running that needs this thing to be set to
Auto? A quick search had revealed that it might belong to an
accounting package, I can't say for sure but anything with "sql" in
it usually suggests that it is part of some kind of database. And I
have to wonder if this database is in anyway associated to the
Indexing service that seemed to be doing cataloging work at any or
all hours of the day.

Viewpoint Manager Service was set to Auto, now it's Disabled.
Information on this is a bit scant or vague but it seems that it
might be junk installed by AOL and that it might be needed for some
AOL features... or that it might be unwanted junk related to adware.
Without knowing if you are on AOL I had decided to leave it on Auto
for the time being. But as far as I'm concerned if you can live
without it maybe you should have it disabled.

W32Time set to Manual now back to Auto. You said in earlier posts
that the Time service was improperly configured and that it couldn't
synchronize with a time server, so all it's doing is trying (and
failing) to contact a time server, network traffic for naught and for
that specific reason I wanted to remove this from the picture, but I
see that it is back... like the cat with nine lives...

WZCSVC was set to Manual now it's back to Auto. This is is the
service that automatically configures 802.11 wireless network
devices. Are you on a wireless network? You said that you are a
standalone machine that is not part of a network and that you plug to
the internet with a telephone cable (I assume DSL, not dial-up,
right?). Is your printer running on wireless? Is the webcam a
wireless device? Do you have a wireless router? If you do have a
wireless router, why are its wireless functions running if you use a
telephone cable to plug to the internet? Why is this service back to
Auto? For all I know maybe you have 'unwanted guests' accessing your
wireless router...

Maybe you inadvertently changed some of these settings while you were
'playing' with CodeStuff Starter. I'm still quite busy with other
commitments, I will try to be back later with a new batch file for
you to run, we'll give it another try.

John
Well,John, the only approach I can see that makes sense, is for you
to give me a script file that will set all my services to what you
want, and then I'll run ServiceStat.vbc and autoruns.exe and
establish a baseline, and then I'll simply let it sit for 2 hours
and run autoruns.exe again and report autostart.txt and we can see
what was changed when I do nothing in between. Meanwhile, I'm
waiting for your advice.

I can't understand how the Events Log shows absolutely nothing
happening in the two-hour period, so no reason for it not to
obey the hibernate command......yet it jest doesn't do it.
