Here's some info on RPC LINK

The only thing I know about it, is that it's not a good idea to disable it in services.:)

From http://www.securiteam.com/windowsntf...WP0O1P9FA.html :

RPC provides an inter-process communication mechanism that allows a program running on one computer to seamlessly execute code on a remote system. The protocol itself is derived from the OSF (Open Software Foundation) RPC protocol, but with the addition of some Microsoft specific extensions.

If you look at the properties of the RPC service and go to the Dependencies tab, you'll see that a LOT of other services are dependent on the RPC service. So if it croaks, you've got problems. (And like Brahma said, you don't want to disable it!)

Yeah, be sure to be knowledgable of the dependencies of a program. It helps prevent headaches.
