Hi SeniorNovice,

It sound like it would be easier to do that in SAFE MODE instead, and
just close all your running programs. Would not mess with system
processes. Did you do a clean install? To find out what the processes
are in Task manager, right click the process & click "GO TO SERVICE".
This will highlight the service running that process in the SERVICES tab
in Task manager. Here's a link that explains all the services in
Vista:

Hope this helps you,
Shawn
