Ts Thomas,
I can definitely understand you being pissed off at this, if indeed you're the author.
(I'm rushing to answer this thread, wich I've just discovered, before it degenerates some more. And I'm planning on checking as soon as I have a minute.)
And let me say in advance : all my apologies, and I intend to take any step necessary accordingly.
To understand the way this thing started off, you'd have to follow the posts in the thread "Tips & Tweaks".
Basically, people were posting interesting tweaks, and at some point the idea was trown to assemble them in some form of document.
Since I have kept the habit of saving the tweaks that I gather all around on little .txt files, I thought "why not me" ?
So I started compiling them on a .doc document.
When I saw that it could become a handy little document--very useful for beginers or for anybody simply wanting these useful tricks all in one place (to use after re-formating, like me)--I thought I might as well throw in the services descriptions I'd collected in the same manner (i.e., on little .txt. files).
I thought this way, anybody could easily keep these useful info in a single file, without having to browse back to the several original locations.
Now, the "Tips and Tweaks" document has got just about no info concerning the origins of the articles; save the 2 sites where I got most of them from, and the names of 2 people who recognized their work and politely asked me to mention them.
I didn't originally include their names because I hadn't written them down when copying the articles. -I didn't remember. (There's even a disclaimer about that in the text, at the beginning.)
But the "Services" document has got the 2 sites where I got the info from written right at the begining :
http://www.3dspotlight.com/tweaks/winxp_services/index.shtml
and
http://www.overclockersclub.com/windowsxpservices.shtml
Didn't you see it ?
You can compare my document with the first of these sites and see for yourself.
Finally, I've not checked yet who are the authors... Is one of them from you ?
If so, what should I do ? Maybe just mentionning your name is not enough, and maybe you do not want us to re-publish (freely) your work this way. If so, I will ask this site to retrieve it.
In any case, it always seemed obvious to me and everybody else involved here that I did not intend to "rip you off".
For one thing, the disclaimer in the other .doc says explicitely that I do not take credit for anything written in these files. (I realise now that I should have written that in both documents...)
I just hope you will give me the benefit of the doubt and wait a while before making any new judgement.
Here's my address, if you'd rather we talk about this in private :

In the meanwhile, and once again, if this indeed is your work, all my apologies.
