- Programs running in the background
- Posted by Steve on December 8th, 2005
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and I was wondering if anyone knew which specific programs
that run in the background are necessary for Windows XP to run right. I'd
like to get rid of most of the other background programs but don't want to
screw things up.
Many thanks!
Steve

Win XP Utilities, Startup Programs Tracker. This utility tracks the common startup
vectors and will show you what is loading at startup and from where. The included
Help gives a brief tutorial with some good information on removing the entries that
the program finds.
