More about Task Manager

[Guest]

For quite a while now I had noticed that my notebook while running idle for
five, ten minutes would go into spontanious activity and as soon as I would
move the mouse the activity would stop.This does not happen all the time only
occasionally. A look on task Manager showed 4 intances of svchost.exe (now I
have six). Wesley Vogel was quite helpfull in showing me how to find out what
each instance of svchost.exe controls last weekend.
I then left task manager running in the process screen, with the screen
saver off, I found the real culprit....dfrgntsf.exe, using about 50 megs of
memory, and after a 50% surge"looking at the graph later" very little cpu
usage. Any movement with the mouse and the keyboard and everything
stops.There is nothing of value on the event viewer. Since I don't defrag on
a timetable, my notebook doesn't run all the time, Everything is done Manualy
even the updates.
I was wondering if I should put tskmgr.exe on manual in the services
configuration? or would someone out there have a good fix for this pesky
application.
In the meantime I think I'll try shutting it down temporarily with the Task
Manager end Process function.......

Oops......Just found out it can't be done that way.......Task Manager
disapears and I can't diagnose anything.
