56 on the office PC. With Word, Outlook and Internet Explorer loaded.
Is this a big deal, the system idle process is still using 98% of resource.

Re: What dyou make of my Task manager in XP ?
I know this may sound thick  but is there a program that I can download that will shut down automatically programmes that I don't need running in Task Manager, I have loads running and don't know what to do with them and weather I need them.
I'm sure this is slowing down my system.
The last time I shut down some random programmes my system shut down.
As you can guess I know very little about PC

Dont shut down random processes  have a look at the link in post #3 for an idea of what is safe to shut down.

Nope, post 3, this one If you look at the bar above each seperate post there is a number, those are the post numbers that we sometimes mention

That's the one I used to shut down processes I didn't need, and saved 100MB of memory for it. With everything closed, some times the processes can drop below 10 since I have such less services running.
Also helps speed up main applications, just make sure you don't shut down ones that ARE required, or you may need to do a bit of formatting 
I can't remember how many run on boot-up on mine, can't check for another hour either 
I usually have 400-450MB of memory free with everything closed, which is GOOD for games, and I only have 512MB memory
