Background processes

[jeff]

There are a ton of background processes always open at any
time. Last time i checked it was 29 processes. What is
the deal? Why is there always so many things running in
the background? How can you stop them in the future?

 

[Tom Swift]

Windows has always had processes running in the background. You just didn't
know about them. And 29 is not an abnormal amount to have running. I have
35.

I have 27 running now and my machine is pretty well striped. 30 or more is
not unusual.

Are you new to XP.

(A ton = 100)

Hi Jan;

Is that an English or American ton?

Hi Wes,

Numeral 100 does not have units, so country/language is not relevant.

I'm a late-comer to this thread, I know, but there is a difference between
an imperial ton and a metric ton (aka tonne.)

Tom;
That's why I asked. )

US ton = 2000 #
GB ton = 2240 #
metric ton = 1000 kilograms, equivalent to 2204.62 #
++++++
As a side note.
I have always got a kick out of this.
When I bought my TV, on the box it came in it said,
19" (21" in Canada).

There are all kinds of funny things that come to mind. )

Wes;

It depends on how you measure the screen.
21" in Canada is the cathode ray tube by itself.
19" is what you see when the same CRT is in the cabinet/case.
What one sees, is what matters to the end user.
(Truth in advertising!)

Hi Jan;
Loosen up.
I don't think it has anything to do with advertising.
And if I gotta explain the joke.......
