The ones that I am familiar with are 1,2,3,9,and 10. You HAVE to
have
1. - (auto browse selecting: usually the most powerful machine on the
network will usually hold a little more cache than the others)
2. - (allows you to logon; also checks for home directories and logon
scripts
10. - (allows your machine to talk to others)
I would probably leave messenger on. It is not vital, but it takes up
little room. If you are using RAS, you will need Telephony Service. I am
not sure about the others. I don't believe that I have the
RPCs running, nor the TCP/IP Netbios Helper (in fact, never seen that
one :) )
Hope this helps,
