Important processes on the computer?

what are the processes you have to leave running for minimal operation of windows.

i downloaded some nasty program and everytime i try to delete it is says it's in use and i can't delete it.

my computer went down to a crawl.

get moveonboot (google for that) allows you to select files to be deleted before windows fully starts. (after a reboot)

Always worked for me

Yep, and you can remove it and change it to a different shell if you wish, such as PROGMAN.EXE.
