Anyone have a link to a site which tells me what each process is, and
whether it's essential or not. I am talking about background tasks, under
Windows Task Manager.

I have 36 processes running on my machine, and i am sure I dont need all of
them.
Any tips would be greatly welcome, I'd just like to cancel few of them,
since I mainly use my machine to make music, so the fewer background tasks I
have running, the better.

Thanx
