Processes & Paranoia

I'm looking around in msconfig because I'm trying to cut down on the number of background processes that are chewing up my computer's RAM and slowing it down-- and I find an active entry with no name or command showing for it. When I try to turn it off, my laptop tells me I need to have administrator access to do so.

Did I happen to mention that I have administrator access on my machine?

There's an old saying-- just because you're paranoid, that doesn't mean nobody's out to get you.
