Lol, oh how late you are on this suggestion. We all know of these little "tweaks" For some serious stuff read two or three threads down.

Also this -> http://majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=12 is a list of programs.

svchost.exe is different network tasks. You can usually disable a few of them without hurting your system, however guessing the right one almost never happens. Therefore leave it alone. FS Autostart will get rid of the ones you dont need.

I disagree. I find that its faster to shut down and restart than it is to bring my PC in and out of Hybernation. Its all about how you have your startup entrys. If you only have your computer start the critical windows stuff, you firewall / virus scan and nothing else you will actually boot much faster than comeing out of hybernation. Also cleaning out your  C:\Windows\Prefetch  folder should help some.

To make your PC boot very fast, look here >http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... 1141519944

I end svchost.exe all the time, if the shutdown warning comes up, I just go into command prompt, and run the following command:
shutdown /a

It stops shutdown :)
