The lsass process is doing constant I/O.  Process Monitor describes the
action as:

56	1:32:41.6962584
AM	lsass.exe	740	RegOpenKey	HKLM\SECURITY\Policy	SUCCESS	Desired Access:

63	1:32:41.6964635 AM	lsass.exe	740	RegCloseKey	HKLM\SECURITY\Policy	SUCCESS

Any ideas what is going on?  Note, the old XP trick of disabling Terminal
Services does not have an effect.  This is Vista with the latest updates.

Looks like these I/O operations are caused by Task Manager itself.  Process
Monitor is quiet when they are not running.
