Hello, and a little info

Hi and Welcome

Wow.. running processes, thats a large area to cover in respect to the vast amount of applications you could install and the processes they use, but maybe these could help;


Service List from Black Viper ( good for those services that your OS W2K, XP, 2003 etc may not need for job your using your PC for )

iKnow Process Scanner


Edit: this new one also looks like a great source of info Process Info 1.4



Process Library ( good database of processes in alphabetical order )

Process Explorer is a software app I and many here use to check on running processes, if you wish to find out what one listed does, right click it and choose google and it will list a search on that process with links to sites with info.



Theire are more in our new catagory Process Managment but I have not tested all of them as yet.

but to sum up each PC is different so you'll have to work out the processes you need or not for your system, a good place to start is the startup list of applications that run once your PC boots.

Startup Inspector is pretty good at telling you what startup does what, but you can also post your startup list here as we can advise.
