TOM -- RE: Start up programs

[Michelle]

Tom, thanks for your reply.
I tried your method and it seems to be helping some.
When I refer to the "start up programs", I am referring
more about other programs that start up on boot up, and
then place an icon in the sys tray (by the clock in the
lower right on the monitor. Most of these are competing
with one another to load and run.
If I'm lucky, I can get the task bar to come up and shut
them down from that, or wait until they load up, and
release enough memory of the 100% being used by the CPU.
I then have to go to each one and click on the icon and
close them out.
Thanks for your help
Michelle

I post as Tom Swift - are you referring to me?

This is how newsgroups work: If you want to continue a conversation, you
need to use the 'Reply' function of your newsreader. This connects all the
threads in a conversation together, making it possible to follow the
progress of the conversation. 'Replying' also includes a copy of the post to
which you are replying, so we all know what you are replying to.

I sometimes reply to many posts in a day, and cannot remember exactly what I
wrote to whom (nor do I need to, thanks to the reply function.) If it is me
to whom you are posting, please find my post to you and then 'reply' to it.
