hit these keys together;
Cntrl/Alt/Del

and view processes ruuning; Highlight those
you dont want and select "END TASK"

To remove at Start Choose
start/settings/start menu/customise and then REMOVE
those you don't want

Do you want to *close* them, or *stop* them? Task manager will stop
processes that are already running, but if you want to stop applications
from starting up automatically and hogging system resources, etc., go to
start | run, type msconfig <enter>, go to the startup tab, and untick what
you wish. Then reboot.

How do you know that they are unnecessary?

How do you know which processes are necessary and which can be safely stopped?
