One Programming Running

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I Windows XP Pro SP2 installed and use the fast user switching
feature. The zero user always has at least one program running when I
go into task manager. Nothing shows up on the Applications tab and a
lot of things with that userid show up on the processes tab. Any idea
what is being counted as a running program. Incidentally this also
happens on two other PCs.

1. Make sure all computers are 100% virus and malware-free. Post back if
you need help with that.

2. Try clean-boot troubleshooting:
