Hello Pascal - 

CA>> My W2k boots up with 20 processes executing (less than a
CA>> standard install of W2k btw) and XP boots up with 80-90
CA>> processes executing! This is before you even load an
CA>> application or touch the keyboard in any way. 

CA>> Linux does this too btw. :-\

PS> Depends on configuration. On my system 17 processes run
PS> after booting up, and I asked for all of them. The system
PS> would still run if I disabled them all, but then some
PS> services like email and printing would be missing. 

My point in mentioning that Linux does this the same way is
that for a multitasking OS having multiple processes executing
at boot is not unusual just needs to be limited to what is
reasonable. 

PS> My firewall machine has 6 processes running. ;) 

I can understand the necessities of booting with multiple
processes executing but in the case of XP I also know it is
excessive and needs trimming.
