Can someone suggest a program for Windows Vista that will stop programs from running in the background? I have been using ENDITALL with my Windows XP computer. However, I am looking for something similar that will run on Windows Vista. 8) 8)

Skip, just found this which may, or may not help you, but it's worth a try....

Extract:

NOTES ON WINDOWS VISTA: I've been getting emails asking if it works with Vista. Here's my response to date ... "I have no idea if it will work on Vista, cuz I won't even install Vista until Micro$oft fixes all the problems & glitches in it within a year or two. The only advice I can give you is to try it. If it works, kool - if it doesn't just un-install it. You have nothing to lose!!"

One more thought on Vista >>> just select EndItAll to run in Vista with Administrator rights (or disable that user control completely like most Geeks have already learned). This also applies to many other software items from my readers feedback. If you do try it, let me know what your experience is and I'll post it here. Click here to email DoC directly about Vista & End-It-All. Click here to email DoC directly about Vista & End-It-All.

UPDATED Jnjr writes me ... DoC I tried end-it-all 2 (with Vista) and it worked like a charm every time. The only program that I protected from killing was Windows explorer ( which goes without saying). This little prog works great when I want to rip a Movie/DVD or audio CD. I currently own a HP pavilion dv6265us notebook with Windows Vista. While End-It-All 2 worked for me, this does not mean it will work for everybody and your readers will have to use this at their own risk.

Thanks Mel:

I'll give it a try sometime this week. 8) 8)

just tried it, only kills the apps that are under the user column under task manager. It killed 3/4 on mine. If you want a more permant solution that does not require a program to run every time you boot go to start
type "msconfig" in the search
go to the 'sercives' and the 'start up' tab. check hid all microsoft services. you can choose which ones you want to start when you boot your computer.

i do have a question about "END IT ALL" and MSCONFIG as 121a has suggested.... i went and had a look-see at what all is being started up, and my question is, i would like to have most of everything NOT load up... but what is actually essential to the computer booting or running properly? I dont want to "end process" on something that is "required" or needed, but how do i determine what is actually needed?? (yeah, internet router / modem stuff would be required as i DO want that to connect as soon as i boot up that way I dont have to worry about that) but as far as every other service, what do i need / what should i close?
