Can I remove the notification area thein programs?

Win &
I have a system with limited resources, and I know that a lot of programs running in the notification area are bogged down my computer.  I know that you can remove those that you do not want to speed up things.  My problem is that I have no idea what most of them do and if I really need them or not, as Toshiba Eco Utility, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator, etc, etc.  Is there a site I can go to get information on this subject.  If I just go to the company that made the program they'll tell me it's great and I need running.

Help please... Bob

============================================================

For additional monitoring of how each item in the startup of your computer effects tab
performance download and install Process Explorer.

You may need to find the specific system process that takes all (there are a lot of threads related to the 'System' process) of the CPU resources and slow down your PC.

To do this Process Explorer, try:
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
SysInternals Forums: http://forum.sysinternals.com/

Worth reading: the process system CPU spikes
http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2008/04/07/3031251.aspx

Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
In the task bar, select view and check 'show process Tree.
as well as the options 'display the lower pane '.

Move the cursor of your mouse over any column in the right pane and
Make a right click and check the following boxes:
"Command line" and "Version".
(This will provide some of the detailed information you need)

Then click on the CPU column to sort processes by CPU usage %.
Then click on extend the process 'System' or 'Explorer' to expand and identify the specific subprocess using most or all the resources.

Then click the sub-process or process listed under the system process that is using most or all the CPU %. Once the process or subprocess is highlighted, do a right click and select the options listed: online search. This should bring that out there on the web about this process.

Note: some entries as solution, System (as explained above) process Explorer and svchost entries can should be extended to view details (sup process), in this case click on the + to the left of the entrance.

  • Windows 7. How can I remove the Windows media Center programs recommended in the "Open with" section?

    I select which application (Word, Excel, etc.), they all open with Windows Media Center. This happened recently and I don't know how to cancel it. I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to "choose the program you want to use to open this file. How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group?

    "I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to"choose the program you want to use to open this file"." How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? »

    A pretty easy regedit should remove an application from the section "recommended programs". Here is a procedure step by step on how to do it. Unfortunately, I don't think that will solve your problem. What seems actually to have occurred is either your .lnk .exe (or maybe both) have inadvertently been associated with WMC. Out of the list of the programs recommended for the open with dialog box will not change. In fact, the next time that you open the program, it will open in WMC and add automatically return a program recommended in the open with dialog box.

    There really should not be whatever it is that you open a .lnk or .exe with because you really don't want to open them... you want to run. To determine if the .lnk or .exe associated with wrong, you can either watch the extension file associations in the control panel > programs, or you can see if it's a shortcut or the actual executable file that does. Need to know who, or if she is at the same time, in order to complete the fix.

    Once you know it, this link will show you how to restore the default file type link. Matter of fact, now that I think of it, it wouldn't hurt to just restore default settings for .lnk and .exe.

    "I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group? " I may be wrong, but I do not believe, you should really see anything in the open with dialog for a .lnk or .exe. Again, you don't want to really not open them... you want to run. The shortcut .lnk file goes to the executable and runs the .exe program.

  • How can I permanently delete an icon from the notification area?

    Whenever I start an icon composed of the white black '9' in a field number appears in the Notification area of my desktop tool bar.

    Whenever I start, I have 'customize' on the toolbar and "hide" icon.  It always comes back.

    Apparently, it has no function.  Make a right click on it, in the hope of finding an option 'discard', produces no response.

    How can I delete the icon?

    The reference to bookmarks won't in the details, because it is in the article above.

    You will be perhaps easier to delete bookmarks you don't want in the list of the bookmarks library.
