How does one alter the number of processes that are starting up by default. Many processes are unknown because their name has nothing to do with what they do. Many are hidden within svchost.exe, so what is necessary and what isn't. I want to alter the start up process permanently, not just during a session (which you can do from the task manager window) I would also like to get rid of the extra question window which asks if you requested this action... it is too much. It is actually the third confirmation that you want to do a simple thing like delete a file or change the name of a file. Thanks, Marcus

By typing in "Using System Configuration" into your help search, you will be offered a nice page of information on changing your settings. Use caution! Unless you desire to be the next person blaming everything on MS. You can do damage here. There are readily available sites in Google, listing the most common startup programs, who uses them and why they are there. This list will vary according to your particular machine and usage. Try to stay out of "Services" unless you are well educated on what you are tweaking.
