I did some dinkering around at home on my xp home machine, and sure enough the task manager will display the processes and programs running for each user logged on to the box.
Hmmmmm....
Well, then....stop using multiple accounts. Seperate desktops are nice, but if one user has 87 things running in the background while the current user has 87 different things running....well, it's no wonder the machine is bogging down.
If you like using seperate accounts, then, at least completely log off the one user before logging in as another.
Either way, you should probably still pare down what programs and such are starting when the pc boots up. I mean, there's no reason to run one instance of qttask and realsched at start-up let alone two. Processlibrary is a good place to begin and what can't be found there can surely be 'googled.'
There's no reason to run 45 processes when 20 will do you just as well.
