Session Manager SubSystem - smss.exe
What does it do?
smss.exe - This is the session manager subsystem, which is responsible for starting the user session. This process is initiated by the system thread and is responsible for various activities, including launching the Winlogon and Win32 (Csrss.exe) processes and setting system variables. After it has launched these processes, it waits for either Winlogon or Csrss to end. If this happens "normally," the system shuts down; if it happens unexpectedly, Smss.exe causes the system to stop responding (hang).
Additional Reading:
Smss.exe does not resolve forward references in environment
You will not be able to end this through task manager!

Service Host Process - svchost.exe
What does it do?
Here's a direct quote from MS about this: (source)
Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that are run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). The Svchost.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%System32 folder. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services portion of the registry to construct a list of services that it needs to load. There can be multiple instances of Svchost.exe running at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services, so that separate services can be run depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This allows for better control and debugging.
Svchost.exe groups are identified in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSvchost
Each value under this key represents a separate Svchost group and is displayed as a separate instance when you are viewing active processes. Each value is a REG_MULTI_SZ value and contains the services that run under that Svchost group. Each Svchost group can contain one or more service_names extracted from the following registry key, whose Parameters key contains a ServiceDLL value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesService
If you're running Windows XP Home edition then you'll have to download this file HERE and put it in your windows/system32 directory. If you're running XP Pro then you won't need that file since you already have it.

Windows Explorer - explorer.exe
What does it do?
explorer.exe - Below is a direct quote from Microsoft found on THIS page:
This is the user shell, which we see as the familiar taskbar, desktop, and so on. This process isn't as vital to the running of Windows as you might expect, and can be stopped (and restarted) from Task Manager, usually with no negative side effects on the system.
I have found that stopping this process is needed sometimes to stop some other processes.
