Edit these in your Task manager... I Quoted myself here, because I have a bad memory, and forget to post things. BTW! don't delete these, just disable them by right clicking the top panel when you get to them in the Task manager, cause you might need them later.
There are a couple of things that I never use that are started at the login of any user.
Name: LPRemove
Location: \Microsoft\Windows\MUI
What it does: This task removes language packs that are not needed when you install Windows Vista Home Basic.
Name: MsCtfMonitor
Location: \Microsoft\Windows\TextServicesFramework
What it does: Text Services Framework provides multilingual support and delivers text services such as keyboard processors, handwriting recognition, and speech recognition.
Why it needs monitored I do not know.
I warn u that I do not know that much, but I have been running two different systems without these tasks for 2 weeks now and everything seems faster and to run fine.
Another thing is Windows Error reporting.
Name: QueueReporting
Location: \Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
Description: Windows Error Reporting task to process queued reports.
What it does: Uploads a bunch of system info to Microsoft when an error occurs in your system.
Supposedly this is so that Microsoft can provide better updates, but I see it as a privacy breach.
Oh, and this:
Name: HotStart
Location:\Microsoft\Windows\MobilePC
Windows HotStart in the Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems provides built-in support for launching applications directly from system startup. Windows HotStart takes advantage of existing support in Windows Vista and Windows 7 for OnNow power management initiatives and technologies, including the platform sleep states and wake capabilities that are defined by the ACPI specification and supported by the Windows Driver Model (WDM), the underlying operating system, and platform hardware.
Manufacturers can take advantage of Windows HotStart to add consumer-friendly application-access buttons through chassis front panels or infrared (IR) remote controls to their system designs. A common example of such a control is a media playback button that starts or wakes the computer and immediately (as soon as the system is running) presents the user with a media player or dedicated media shell.
I don't use it, even though My acer comes with application access buttons, the acer software is redundant to what is already built-in in Windows 7.
