Baffling List

[Jack Black]

I have opened the Help setion of WinXP and then opened a page called
"My Computer Information - Software"

This shows a list of many (if not all the programs) I have on Start Up
under at heading called "Startup Program Group" . This list shows a
name and an install date.

The list has approx 2300 items in it, most of which it says has an
"unknown" install date. I have managed to copy ths list to file
because I don';t have enough paper to print it. (97 pages)

I have appended, below, a sample of the list. If anyone would care to
peruse the entire list, I would be happy to send it to them.

Does anyone know what this is? Is this the reason my machine seems to
be slowing down?

Thanks

Hello BJ
I had hoped you might have got a hit on this thread, but no.
So I will ask the dumb question.
I tried to follow your sequence but got stuck at the first hurdle.
Where exactly and how did you get to all these files.
Thats if you dont mind?

Thank you for that Wesley.
I thought that was what he was meaning(I took a different route though) but
the bit about unknown install dates threw me.. I have no dates of install
showing in either Prog Groups or Startup Progs, so assumed he must have been
mentioning something else.
In addition I could see nothing like he has shown - though I did in Loaded
Modules. Perhaps that is what he was referring to??
I have just over 400 in Loaded Modules.

Hi Antioch,

Modules? We ain't got no modules. We don't need no modules. I don't have
to show you any stinking modules!

I couldn't resist. :-D

I have 261 loaded modules. I cheated, I copied the list from System Info,
pasted it into Notepad and did a Go To line number to count them.

We may never know for sure unless the OP posts back.

[Wesley Vogel]

I never do work when my machine can do it for me. Even if it takes longer
for me to have the machine do it. ;-)

To go to a specific line
1. On the Edit menu, click Go To.
2. In Goto line, type the line number you want the cursor to jump to.

Notes
* You do not have to have line numbers in your document for this command to
work.
* Lines are counted down the left margin beginning at the top of the
document.

My notes:
Word Wrap must be turned off.
If you type a higher number than what you know exists, Notepad will help
you.

You'll get a message...
---------------------------
Notepad - Goto Line
---------------------------
Line number out of range
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Click on OK and the Line Number will be highlighted in the Goto line dialog.
Some times you have to count up a few lines by hand, but what the hey. I
wasn't going to count to 261 by myself. Not enough fingers and toes. ;-)

Try View, and tick Status Bar. Tells you cursor location.

Not all of my time in Phoenix was bad, I just complain a lot. ;-)

It upsets me personally as a law abiding citizen with a legitimate copy of
windows that I have to download and install crap to prove just that. It
further browns me off that the pirates just find ways around whatever WGA
stuff that Microsoft comes out with and I have to download and install more
crap.

I do not mean to make light of the software piracy problem. I think the
pirates should be horse whipped, I just don't believe that I have to be
involved.
