start/search....... or start/run type in msconfig hit enter. go to start tab and look there............ then go to services tab and look there............down in the corner of services there'a check box that says hide all Microsoft services. Put a check in it. that will make a all of the MS stuff disappear. Easier for you to see what's there. Good Luck.
