The pages below provide guidance on the usefulness or not of some of these background tasks,  Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 and Windows 7 services, and Windows Startups, and removal procedures when recommended.  These pages are small extracts from the massive database of our Task Manager Replacement product, TUT,   The Ultimate Troubleshooter, the ultimate PC Tune-up program.
