What are the nine processes running and do you need all of them

At your inquiry I took a real close look at the running processes and
discovered two separate instances of Explorer.exe running in parallel. I
never caught that before. I guess I expected to see an instance and
mentally blocked, ignored the second. The remaining processes are:

kernal32.dll
msgsrv32.exe
mprexe.exe
mmtask.tsk
explorer.exe
systray.exe
iexplore.exe
rnaapp.exe
tapiexe.exe
cmmon32.exe
explorer.exe

I have a startup manager installed but none of these processes appear in
its lineup. A good startup manager, it appears, is the place to start to
resolve this problem. At this point, I have no Idea how to disable the
second instance of Explorer.exe without shutting down the system.

Please help,

Randy
