Hi,
I am very happy with my little vaio but what is all this stuff it comes with. It has 64 minimum processes running at all times, most of which I dont even know what are (ex Apoint). It takes surprisingly long for this new sexy machine to start up and I suspect all the background stuff is the reason.

Apart from going to taskmanager and physically deleting the processes one by one everytime I start, is there a better way to tell what processes actually does what and how do I distinguish good from bad. Or is there a such thing as a list of essentials, and I can safely get rid off all else.

If anyone can help me I shall be eternally grateful.

Kind Regards,

Dorthe

You´d think so to look at it, but not one of the processes listed on onecomputerguy.com matches any of mine.

Any other suggestions :/

Try here:

Click on the "Tasks" button. All processes will be listed in alphabetical order.

Example would be to click on "S" for svchost.exe etc.

Exactly what I needed. Well done.

Thanks a lot
