"Processes" running
How do you know which processes that are running are needed? How many is too many? I have approx. 60 running on mine.

Windows MSConfig doesn't show all the startup processes and services that are configured to run on your system. It may surprise you just how many there are?
Try using the Free MS Autoruns for Windows. It doesn't need to be installed. You can also set it to filter out signed Windows system processes, most all required, so can just focus on applications. Right-clicking any process or service will allow you to search the net for more info. If it's unnecessary, then un-checking will disable the process or service on startup when you re-boot.
Thanks for this tip. I had never heard of this and yes, it is much more thorough than msconfig. I have shut off several things and will see if it helps my computer run better.
