Question: How do you get rid of excess junk running on your pc?  like things running in the background? is there a free program?  how do you edit what programs are running--the ones you see next to the time on your pc?  (something besides task manager?)

Answer: Go to "Run" command and type in "msconfig".  Uncheck the services and processes you don't want running.  Reboot and then check the task manager.  You should not see those processes.
