Running Programs

Is there a list somewhere of programs that MUST run in windows Vista?
It seems to be a real memory hog and I'de like to disable some things if
possible.. I already ran defender and took off what I didn't need on start
menu programs but there are like tons of things running in task
manager/Processes.. I don't want to disable something thats needed
TIA

Be careful and study up before your disable a service.
