Is there a way to find out what each process being run is? There are some processes running that I can’t figure out are what.  
In some cases it’s possible to search your hard drive for the image name, but that doesn’t always work :-/  
Also, what’s the difference between being run by \<your username\>, System, Local Service and Network Service?
