My computer that is a compaq when it startes there's about 49 processes running :\ The computer came with Windows XP installed so most of them I think are the bundled stuff from Compaq. The only thing is which ones to disable?
Would anyone if I posted a auto runs log be able to check them for me?
thanks

if the process can't be found there, just search in google (put the full name of the process in the search bar, something like: "svchost.exe") that you'll find info about it right away.

RE: processes cleanup
someone should make a program that scans all the active prossesses, and tells you which ones are absolutly nessisary to runing your computer, and which ones you can disable

RE: processes cleanup
Generally the ones ran by system are pretty important,
If they are ran by your user name its actually an application running on your behalf, just kill these and work out which is which. Also uninstall all the crap you dont want from add/remove programs
