taskmon.exe

Hi, i am trying to cut back on the no. of programs running
at strat up. I have cut down on a few already. I was
wondering whether the 'Task Monitor'
(C:/WINDOWS/taskmon.exe) is necessary to have running in
the background.

Also I ahve something called 'ScriptBlocking', but i dont
know what it is.

can anyone help.

regards

Taskmon keeps track of your most frequently used programs so that their
files can be sorted by defrag so those programs open faster (assumes you
have that option set in defrag).

ScriptBlocking: It is not clear what this might be--do a find on google.com
and do some research.

If Norton Anti-Virus is installed, ScriptBlocking (SBServ.exe) is part of it.

Hi. read your post. taskmon is where you setup different
tasks to be preformed on your pc at certain time
intervals.You do not really need this to run all the
time.If you want to scandisk,defragment,etc.you can do so
by going to programs,system tools and then clicking on the
one you want to perform. If you like to keep your hard
drive as free as possible on disk space,you can set that
too. But to answer your question. No, you do not need it
to run all the time.

Wrong, TaskMon is a proggie which monitors the visible
running programs, both foreground (buttons, and systray
icons) and background (items w/out taskbar buttons or
systray icons).

You are thinking of Task Scheduler

Scheduling Tasks The Scheduled Task Wizard enables you to
run important utilities such as ScanDisk, Disk Defragmenter,
and Backup at regular intervals.
