How can I find out what program(s) are running "in the background" so to

Well!

I'd like to thank each and every one of the geeks that offered the answer

Thank you.

I just checked the task manager and right now there are only two programs
running ... Outlook Express and Firefox.
Next time it starts doing it's automatic restart nonsense, I'll check it
again and see what else is running.
It might be "Spyware Doctor" that automatically updates itself.

Thanks.

Do you leave OE running when you put the machine in standby? If so, do you
have OE set up to check for mail automatically?

Usually I shut it and Firefox (if I was using it) down before I put the
computer in "standby". But, sometimes I forget. And yes, OE checks for
mail automatically.
