For example in Windows Safe Mode, only core processes and services are used. What are these? I wish to, create a program, that will automatically end any programs that are not on this 'core' list.

In Win7.

I don´t know, if I am right, but I think, that Core processes are those, what are in Windows Task Manager under the User name called SYSTEM.
I hope you know what I mean. :)

This should give you an idea:

Windows Architecture

List of Microsoft Windows components - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The core processes are the processes that are absolutely necessary, such as Ntoskrnl.exe, Hal.dll, WinLogon, and a few others. Safe mode is meant for troubleshooting purposes because it lets you eliminate services that might be causing problems, such as services from non-Microsoft vendors that may have malicious code.

I am not sure but i think that you might get your desired feature on windows 7 and windows Vista.

Killing all non-core processes is very likely to leave you unhappy. Networking support, for example, is not core, but comes in really handy.
