others that I can think of: explorer.exe, winlogon.exe, spoolsv.exe, regsvc.exe, system, system idle process, taskmgr.exe, winmgmt.exe....there's a few more, but I can't remember them. if you had to load drivers/software for stuff like network or sound, then you might see a few more. hope that is helpful..

taskmgr is a manual program. Unless your system is somehow different I always have to call it up first, tho it is a good idea to have it running for various reasons and check it everyday for spyware running.
Also I have spoolsv turned off unless I want to print which is rare. It isn't necessary to leave running. Just go to the URL above and read all about what services are necessary and what can be set to manual or even disabled.
btw: NEVER turn off LSASS.EXE!!! it will shut your system down if you do. Winmgt can be killed without any noticable problems.
