What unnecessary process's can I delete (Task Manager)?

go to control panel/computer management/services
Here you can disable services you don't need.
Click also on help within the services window, there you
can find the default settings for all services in case you
have to change again.

What are the minimum processes that need to be running
under the 'PROCESSES' list to free up the maximum
computer
processing power for special CPU intensive programs for
WINXP Home Edition?

Some software programs require of course no
other 'applications' be running and I assume that I can
gain additional maximum CPU attention by also ending
uneccessary 'processes' under the PROCESSES list in Task
Manager???????? prior to executing the desired program(s)?

(I cannot find this anywhere in the knowledge bases -
unless I missed it.)

Thanks - Larry
