Before when I had WIN'98 I used to check for my resources with a simple right
click on the My Computer Icon on desktop. Click performance and voila. Now I
have discovered that something along those lines is in the task manager
(CTL/ALT/DEL) where I click on performance and find some kind of graph thingy
scrolling across the display like a heart monitor. Fine and dandy. I just
can't translate what I'm seeing to how much of my resources are still
available.
This led me to check the processes option and I saw all these things running
in the background. While I don't understand what they all mean, I noted that
it seems each time I've opened up IE it logs it in and seems to continue to
run in processes even after I've shut down that browser. Do I NEED to have
all of these continue running? Do I need all of what IS running in there to
be running through the day as I compute? How can I tell what I need and what
I don't need and most importantly, how can I END the Process that isn't
needed without feeling I'm committing some crime against humanity???
