One quick question...where do I look for system
resources? I know where it is on XP but what I'm looking
for is the % of resources that is being used so I can
close things and make my computer faster. I used to R
click on My Computer and then L click on properties and
it gave a percentage (under Windows 98). Then I could
ctrl-alt-delete and close programs that I didn't need and
it would speed up everything. I can't find anything even
similar on XP!
 
AFAIK XP does not handle/limit system resources in the same way as Win9x/ME.
You can access the Task Manager by right clicking on the System Tray and
selecting it from the menu.

You can't find them because they're not there, and that's good,
not bad.

System Resources, in the Windows 9X sense of the term, don't
exist in Windows XP, and there's no limitation to be concerned
with.
