I have a big list of services running on my PC, can you pin point some unneeded services? I don't think that I need all of them! That slows up my startup.

Thanks!

Go to your processes and search for the names of them on Google. You can determine if you need them that way.

Yeah, I would also like to know how to remove some unneeded startup processes. This computer takes 7 minutes to start up, and I don't like that. I'm getting some more RAM soon, though, and that might solve the problem.

go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Component Services, Click on Services (local) and you will see the whole list of services, and a Defregmentation and a Registry Cleaner scan might help to speed up the start up :)

When I will have some free time I'll make a tutorial about this :) but now im a little busy!

I think I am going to do that with my computer..since I believe I have some programs running on my computer that are just sitting around occupying space..There is one I had deleted but it refuses to go from the list of programs when I try to use the add/delete section!

How does one determine if they have programs running on their system that are simply wasting space? I mean is there a simple program, or is there some place on the computer you click to see this?

Well for example I have some services of un-installed softwares! Those for example are just a waste of space and there are other services I don't use so those too are a waste of space! depends on your situation!

I know my computer probably needs a little inspection in this respect as well. Since programs can take up so much space; it would really be beneficial to delete completely those that are no longer in use. Makes more room for new software.
