We all have programs continously running in the background, but some of ours
may be different to some of yours.. maybe if you were just a little more
specific..

Are you asking about programs which start automatically?
On each program you don't want to start automatically, check its
Options to see if it has the choice not to start. Many can easily
and best be stopped that way. If that doesn't work, run MSCONFIG
from the Start | Run line, and on the Startup tab, uncheck the
programs you don't want to start automatically.

Yes. Ken - I have 27 things loading in msconfig\startup. I recognize
at best half of them - stuff I have installed. I can see a partial
path to them well enough to know what program they are for. I am
using about 350 MBs of memory out of 1 gig on boot-up..
I will bet some of this doesn't need to load, and may even be doing
stuff I don't want. Why do I need something from Winamp or Roxio or
Real to load on start? I don't use these much. Why can't I just
start them when I want to start them by clicking on them? I do not
like any program that auto-checks for updates, and I dfisable this
wherever I can. & I cannot make an unchecked box a permanent change
(see bottom paragraph).
Here they are:
NvCpl, nwiz, zHotkey, EngUtil, RxMon, Shwicon2k, pptd40nt,
IndexSearch, ccApp, AcctMgr, ISStart, LogiTrav, GhostStartTrayApp,
Sethook, , (that's a complete blank space for a filename & no
command associated with it), realsched, dumprep 0 -k, qttask, mxyjxxn,
winampa, DrgToDsc, mswsoemon, aim, WALLPA~1, Leechget, Restore desktop
(listed twice), mwsmoemon, MyWebSearch Ema.., SamrtUI,
MyWebSearch Ema..
** Also, I cannot make an unchecked box permanent (msconfig\startup).
When I have unchecked the box in front of a startup name, it will not
stay permanent - the computer says it is in evaluation mode, and it is
not a permanent change - the next reboot re-checks the box. I am the
only user of this computer. I don't have to choose when I boot up.
How do I go about making an unchecked box permanent?
Thanks,
Big Mac
