After helping the OP.... what can I do to speed up my POS laptop?

I know about defragmenting, but I don't download many files so it's usually not too messy in there.

I notice there seem to be a lot of processes running when I check the task manager, I have no idea what most of them are, and they mostly say they are not using the CPU (system idle using 98-99% most of the time) but they are using RAM right?... I just want to know can I stop/delete some of them and will they just start again anyway each time I restart?

I mean I haven't even opened Internet explorer but it is apparently using 12,000k +
