End process, WinXP Home

[Squitters]

Hi all :-)

I still use Enditall for Fs2002 with XP Home and it shows
Norton AV Firewall and modem and will shut these down but when
I look at the WinXP end process window it seems that everyone and their aunt is still round for tea, which is safe to close
as I would have thought these would 'slow' my system down?

What do you chaps do about this ?

best,

Steve

I just leave all of them running. They are not using any measureable resource except a small bit of memory. I've tried killing various combinations of the XP default tasks (including virtually all of them) and there was no noticeable performance difference with FS2002 irregardless of what was left running.

I dont shut anything down (However, I dont run a fulltime firewall and dont have any unwanted processes in the clock area tray.

I would still not bother with main process stopping.. just make sure that there are no processes running in the system tray.. I have not found 1 yet that I need.
