After installing SP3 on a brand new Windows XP Home computer (actually,
after a complete reformat and reinstall of Windows XP Home), I see that the
Application Management service is set to Disabled. I didn't happen to
check the status of this after applying SP2, but I am wondering if this
service is now set to Disabled when SP3 is installed.
I can't find much info in Goog.... um, I mean Windows Live Search about
this issue.
Some Web pages claim that the Application Management service is required
for Add/Remove Programs to work, but this is not true. The service
description (that this service "provides software installation services
such as Assign, Publish, and Remove") doesn't really tell us much either.
Any comments would be appreciated. Should I set this service to Manual
instead of Disabled? Did installing SP3 disable this service? Or is it
only intended for XP Professional computers that are part of a domain?
This computer will not be in a domain (of course, it's running XP Home).
Thanks.
