Process - What's Normal?

[nayr1482]

Hi all, I recently installed the VzW WM6.5 update and have noticed the Memory Usage runs a bit higher than it did in 6.1 (part of the problem is it won't keep the ResProxy to 0 change...).

Anyway - I am trying to identify if there is any "crap" running in the background that is causing some of it.

I installed dotFred's Task Manager. Here is a list of the Processes that are running on my TP2.

ctlpnl.exe
CommManager.exe
manila.exe
voicecmd.exe
poutlook.exe
repllog.exe
cprog.exe
BTTrayCE.exe
connmgr.exe
services.exe
shell32.exe
gwes.exe
device.exe
filesys.exe
NK.EXE

Is anything in here "junk" ???
If so how do I prevent it from loading ???


Thanks!
Ryan

To prevent some of these programs from automatically starting up you can remove their .lnk file from the /windows/startup folder. However, most are needed.

ctlpnl.exe is WM control panel
CommManager.exe
manila.exe is HTC TF3D can remove if you don't use
voicecmd.exe remove if you don't use voice command
poutlook.exe email client, can remove if you don't use email
repllog.exe activeSync communication port, leave alone
cprog.exe leave alone
BTTrayCE.exe bluetooth driver
connmgr.exe connection manager used by PIE, activesync etc. needed
services.exe used to start and stop services
shell32.exe is a Windows file (32 bit OS) not sure why its there
gwes.exe user interface for your graphics etc.
device.exe loads drivers like touch screen, display etc. leave alone
filesys.exe leave alone
NK.EXE is the OS kernel, leave alone

Hope this helps.
