I am trying to find out which tasks (listing of) that should be running on
my XP System & how do i permanetly stop the tasks i don't need, to improve my
speed & performance. I am running with an Intel Pentium 3, 800mhz machine.
Please help me. Thanks Dom L.

All about disabling programs at startup

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Startup Programs Tracker. This utility
tracks the common startup vectors and will show you what is loading at startup and
from where. The included Help gives a brief tutorial with some good information on
removing the entries that the program finds.

programs in Start-up actually slow your computer up at all.. for info on
what slows a computer, and how to overcome the problem, go to .........
