Cleaning-Up Unwanted Programs?

Postby Bruisercruiser » Mon Feb 27, 2006 9:27 am

Hello,

Does anyone have an idea how to identify which programs running on an idle system (Windows XP) can be stopped without harming anything? By right clicking on the toolbar and selecting "Task Manager" and then click on the "Processes" tab, you can see all things running. I'm sure I don't need all of these and I would like to know what's what.

All the best  :D

EndItAll is probably best for your needs and when you start it up it'll show which can be safely shutdown ;)
