The network provisioning service (NPS) is a system of Windows, which was added in service pack 2 (SP2) of Windows XP, that provides API functions for domain communication. This service stores its information in an XML database that in theory can be human parsed. This service is not important to the home user, but it is only started when it is required so you should leave it set to manual. |

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." --Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger
