Windows XP includes support for Universal Plug and Play (UnPnP) which allows UnPnP devices to be connected over a network. Also the SSDP Discovery Service (SSDPSRV) need to be disabled also as shown
There are currently limited UnPnP devices available and due to a recent security flaw it may be advisable to disable these two services. Download THIS tweak and then restart your PC it will set both to DISABLE (0x4)
NOTE: These two services can also cause your Task Bar to malfunction and remove your icons from the righthand side so disabling them will prevent this from happening as well
