On windows task manager, under processes, there are several program listed.
I can end processes I choose. Which processes can I end -- without my having
to restart my computer?

Thank you,

Barry Karas

PS I have Windows XP with SP2.

This approach is safer.

Find the item in Autoruns and search online for information.

Use Autoruns to find any unwanted start ups!
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from starting,
or you can can right click an item and then delete it. If you uncheck
you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer approach than
editing the Registry. Another useful feature of the programme is that
you can right click an item and select Search Online to get information
about the item selected.
