Windows XP includes support for Universal Plug and Play (UnPnP) which allows UnPnP devices to be connected over a network. There are currently limited UnPnP devices available and due to a recent security flaw it may be advisable to disable these services.
Disable Universal Plug and Play Device Host
- Open your registry editor
- Navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\upnphost.
- Set the value of “Start” to “4″ to disable the service, or “3″ to enable it.
Disable UnPnP Discovery Service
- Open your registry editor
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SSDPSRV.
- Set the value of “Start” to “4″ to disable the service, or “3″ to enable it.
