smoother running SH3 (increase FPS)

Here is my list of services settings running in W2K SP4 which still allows internet connection, but eliminates the vast majority of startup bloat.
I also use a little proggie called "Startup Mechanic", which is just a simple shortcut to the "run" keys in the registry.
It does a good job of keeping "rogue" startup entries cleared from installed programs that think they need to run at every boot.
It can also be set to monitor changes in startup while having a tiny footprint, (good for noobs).
It's been a very handy little tool on my rig for a few years now.

I hope this helps someone!
