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. |

"Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out... and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for 'the universal brotherhood of man' - with his mouth". --Mark Twain
