CeeCee Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 18, when browser is not running. Note, that you have to minus the taskmanager process, since it's only running when you open TaskManager. Btw, can you count the "System idle process" as an actual process? Also, i start up the Spool service only when i'm going to print. Service is set to "Manual" and i have made a batch files to quickly start and stop the service. Here's how you do a batch file to start or stop the service: Open Notepad and type NET START "name of the service" (with quotes) and save it as a .bat file. To stop service, just replace START with STOP. Here's an example: NET START "Spooler" My WinXP Pro system is running 58 processes It's not easy to notice, if there's a virus or some other pesky process running. I can tell immediately, if i got some new/unwanted process(es) running. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted December 21, 2007 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2007 CTFMON.exe may also be blockable via Local Security Policy. Albeit I don't know first hand if that would create a load of troubles or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
