The problem of writing a definitive guide would be that everyone does not have the exact same computer hardware/software. NicN has written a lengthy guide that was posted over at AvSim for FSX. So I wouldn't want to re-invent the wheel. What is better suited for something like this in my opinion is a services listing, telling you what each service does and why you might need to have it running. Then of course as you do this, and later add some must have add-on, are you going to remember what you tweaked? Here is a quick search result on services with explanations. Understand your system and go from there.

thanks for all the feed back, which means to me that it is an important factor in getting the most out of your com, and get rid of unwanted or unneeded applications.

thanks ..Robert

And this is another reason why a quadcore is better than a dual core, windows will run many of these background processes on another core.
