Isn't there a sticky around that explain how to remove a lot of the processes that start up with Windows? I currently have about 40 processes running on a new rig that I built, and for me that just isn't going to fly. I tried the Ultimate XP Optimizer Guide, but that didn't really remove any processes from what I could tell. Thanks.

I disabled 95% of the things your guide suggested. I still have about 40 running processes. I also only have my sound card software, aim, and mouse drivers start up with windows. Those are the only icons in my taskbar. Which Microsoft services,(run-->msconfig-->services tab) can be disabled? I already disabled the ones that I don't need after hiding all the Microsoft services.

When disabling them, I choose disable, apply, then ok. After disabling all of them I then restart and make sure they are disabled.

Anyone want to reply to my last post? lol. Maybe this will help. Can any of these services set to automatic be disabled?
