I am running Windows 98 First Edition on my HP Pavilion 6465 PC. When I do
“Ctrl+Alt+Del� immediately after boot-up a pop-up window titled “Close
Program� appears which tells me the programs that are running. On my
computer there are 23 programs loaded immediately after the boot-up has
completed. What loads these programs upon boot-up and how do I PERMANENTLY
stop the loading of several of these programs that I don’t need. Removing a
program by way of “StartSettingsTaskbar & Start MenuStart Menu
ProgramsRemove(Un-click program)� does not remove the program from the
“Close Program� pop-up window when the computer is rebooted, also many of the
programs don't appear in the Start Menu Programs folder.
The best way is the go to the programs itself and check the preferences
tab and look for any startup option. Also run msconfig and uncheck all
but what you want.I have systray and scanregistry and my firewall and
antivirus and one MS update on[kb891711]. Everything else don't need to
start up.Unless you use a power profile turn this off too. I manually
turn off my monitor when not needed.
Get more ram memory,this helps when you have or need many programs to
run at startup.
The only programs in my close program is Explorer and systray,firewall
and antivirus.
Get Process explorer 9x from www.sysinternals.com. This will show
additional processes. Some are windows background processes like spool
and ddhelp kernal32 mmtask.
Get spybot S&D and Ad_aware SE,also get regcleaner. Get these from
www.majorgeeks.com under spyware and resistry.
Remember to do the regular disk clean,scan disk and disk defrag[use ME
Defrag]. Go to http://www.mdgx.com/reg.htm for tweaking ideas. Good luck
