Works well, but you can't unload it without rebooting.

For me, on my Ipaq 5555 with WM 2003, it does not show up in any task manager that I have and does not show up in the Start | Settings | Memory | Running Programs list.

Yeah, you'll have to have a process viewer. Regular task switchers will not see it.

I use ITaskMgr.

or this really old, less featured version works well too.

Just look for powerstatus.exe on the process tab of either of these apps.

Great! Now if I could just determine which processes I don't need running. :wink:

The following are unidentified "image names" in my Process list...

tmail.exe
udp2tcp.exe
rapisrv.exe
repllog.exe
rnaapp.exe
poutlook.exe
HH_dm.exe
ARI_ENG.exe
fe_wa.exe
FPN.exe
connmgr.exe
services.exe
shell32.exe
srvtrust.exe
device.exe
gwes.exe
filesys.exe
NK.EXE

Does anyone know what these do?

Thanks in advance!

tmail.exe = Pocket Inbox
upd2tcp.exe = Some kind of networking interface
rapisrv.exe = RAPI service
repllog.exe = Part of ActiveSync
rnaapp.exe = Internet connectivity?
poutlook.exe = Pocket Outlook (this will always launch when you run the calendar, tasks, etc.)
HH_dm.exe = ?
ARI_ENG.exe = ?
fe_wa.exe = I believe this has something to do with Bluetooth. Don't quote me on it, though.
connmgr.exe = The connection manager
services.exe = Runs service dlls in the background
shell32.exe = The system shell (today screen, taskbar, etc.)
srvtrust.exe = I believe this is some sort of security layer
device.exe = Handles most device drivers
gwes.exe = The Graphic, Window and Event subsystem. Provides MANY important APIs for applications to run
filesys.exe = Manages the device's file system and provides APIs for applications to load, save and manipulate files
nk.exe = The kernel

You have an ipaq don't you? :mrgreen:

They are in the startup folder. Not really sure what they do. I took them out once and rebooted. nothing bad happened but i put them back in just to be on the safe side.

If you want tmail.exe to go away just open inbox and close it again. It starts in the background everytime you activesync.

rnaapp will only be present if you are currently connected to something. Like sitting in the cradle, ethernet, wireless, dialup... (usually :mrgreen: )

if you go to the task tab and close activesync repllog will go away.

and all the stuff that Zidane said.

The rest of the stuff is kinda needed.

Edit: So basically you don't have anything running that is not supposed to be or that won't run itself at some point.
