You also can try to prevent certain services to be started - for example 
for the not installed hardware by using the
msconfig
Utility which comes with windoze but - of course - is not documented but 
works well. You can execute it with Start->Run->msconfig
The advantage is you don't have to kill the processes just unmark them 
and they won't get started. If you need them just mark them again. The 
drawback is - you have to reboot. But on the other hand it can speed up 
Windoze and saves memory because not loading a lot of Plug-and-pray 
drivers waiting for some hardware to be connected.

And God said"Let there be light."But then the program crashed because he was trying to access the 'light' property of a NULL universe pointer.
