Disable WinXP automatic tasks

[Georges Heinesch]

Hi.

I have a WinXP system which keeps on corrupting my DVB-S (satellite)
recordings. I know that WinXP performs on certain intervals certain
tasks (like system disk defragmentation, ...).

- Where can I find a list of tasks which run automatically?
- How can I stop these tasks?

Thanks,
