Depends On (?): Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Universal Plug and Play Device Host

AutomaticDisabledDisabledDisabledDisabledDisabledDisabled

Explanation (?):
The castle service is new to Windows Longhorn and I am not sure what it does, but it seems to be related to Universal Plug and Play. Please email me if you have any information on it. I would suggest disabling it though because it seems to be some type of network discovery service and that could be a security risk.

"Every nation has a right to govern itself internally under what forms it pleases, and to change these forms at its own will; and externally to transact business with other nations through whatever organ it chooses, whether that be a King, Convention, Assembly, Committee, President, or whatever it be. The only thing essential is, the will of the nation." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 1792. ME 9:7
