Removing uneeded processes? Isn't there something uneeded?

[I LOVE WALMART]

I have something like 30-40 processes running on the winxp. I was
wondering if there was a list or website with recommendations on what
is SAFE to end in order to speed up or at least make the comp run more
efficient?

thanks,

I have 46 processes - 30 - 40 not unusual. If you want to investigate the processes:-

vectors and will show you what is loading at startup and from where. The included
Help gives a brief tutorial with some good information on removing the entries that
the program finds.
