    there was a pretty good thread a couple weeks ago (or maybe it was just several posts within a thread; i don't remember exactly which forum it was on, unfortunately) about eliminating some of the useless running processes on XP. it included a link to a searchable database of processes -- what they do, how critical they are to your system, and recommended course of action.

    if anyone remembers that thread, or at least knows what web site i'm talking about, could you please post the link here?
