how many running processes?

How many processes should be running for WinXP home? My count is now up to 28, and it looks like the CPU usage is going up. Some things I don't think I can help... the HP photosmart 130 printer (xmas present) added 2 processes, and the wireless keyboard/mouse (also xmas) added another process. But is there any way to tell what really isn't needed so I can get rid of it?

Thanks
 
only 28? gosh, normally I have 37 running (when idle).
 
Right now I've got 27, but that's with AIM, IRC clients, IE, internet connection, etc. With nothing running, I have 18.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
