Task Manager Programs

I was wondering, when I log onto my computer, I have alot of things running.


I was wondering What processes are needed to keep running the computer.

In otherwords, I want to shut down every proccess that i can. I just want the bare miniumum.

I am running on windows xp.


I would also like to know if any of those programs on there are deletable. Tell me which programs I can delete without effecting my computer.

Lol, does something about Google offend you?

hehe ^^^

I was just about to do a google search too, ill post my results with the search queries..

Remember...google is your friend

What's up with the Deja Vu lately - I just recommended the same to a fellow co-worker today (re: google - that is - on the same subject).

For example if you type your first process svchost.exe into Google the first result is:
http://www.liutilities.com/products/win ... y/svchost/

with the following info:



Although a lot of us know how to do this, I know there are some that don't so I prefered to show you how to do a good search for it and get good results.

[sarcasm]"Hi. I have a problem and I need you to help me. Can you search for me
and tell me how to do what I need? Thanks."[/sarcasm]

sorry -- couldn't resist
