TBH having 29 processes running isn't bad. I have 32 after boot and my sys is pretty clean.

Just my 2c

You can get rid of jusched and realsched straight away anway. They're just pointless fluff using memory whilst they sit there and periodically check the internet for updates for java/realplayer.

Run msconfig and disable them in the "startup" tab.

What's the deal with tcpsvcs.exe ? TCP services? As in finger, qotd etc? You probably don't need those!

There's not a lot being used up there at all really, it's a pretty standard list you posted. Certainly no harm disabling the two schedulers, though these things have a habit of finding their way back somehow... I wouldn't be worried by what you have running there, basically.

You need "tcpsvcs.exe" by the way.

No, you don't. Unless you're using the provided services, which I doubt.

Also remove SNMP if you don't need it.

Might be worth looking here:

And here:
http://www.optimizingpc.com/optimize/windowsservices.html

Two pretty good guides without being over exhaustive.

wdfmgr.exe is just another loafer, but I might be a bit off there. IIRC it's just a windows networking thing (I say that due to the fact that I don't play around with networks on this machine).
As for the list in general and memory usage, it all looks normal to me.

You should see my task manager :mad: 56 processes running :eek:

Quite a few seem to have to do with the wireless card.

It's a laptop to btw.

153 megs of memory being used for windows (xp i presume) is fine man. No problems there

if you want to free up some more resources, disable some windows services.. like the help service etc, there is a fair few you can disable
