Windows 98 background programs
I think I want to shut down some background programs which
seem to be slowing me down. I've made a list by going through ctrl + alt + del to find what is running. Here is the list: explorer, Ccapp, Easyshare, Hotsync, Monwow, Csinsm32, wzqkpick, gwremind, realplay, Kodakecs, rundll, tgcmd, qttask, loadqm, imgicon, systray, 3dldemon, nprotect, mdm, csinject, and qoeloader. |

Windows 98 background programs
To cut back on the number of programs starting at boot, check the programs
themselves for an option not to load. You might have to double click an icon in the tray (others might require a right click) and then look for preferences or options. If you cannot find an option, look for the program in the following start up points and remove the reference to it: Start up folder on the start menu, the load= and run= lines in the win.ini and these registry run keys (use regedit.exe): 1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run 2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run 3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce 4. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce 5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ RunServices 6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ RunServicesOnce 7. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ RunOnce\Setup If poking around in the registry is not for you, there is a freeware program that makes this process a lot easier to manage: Startup Manager, http://home.ptd.net/~don5408/toolbox/startupcpl/ You can use msconfig.exe, startup tab, to disable programs; however, by doing so, you may lessen its value as a troubleshooting tool. There might be some double entries in msconfig--leave those for your AntiVirus program and load power profile alone as they are required. If you disable an entry in msconfig or remove it from the start up point and the program loads again after a reboot, that is an indication that you missed an option on the program itself. If you don't know what an entry is, check he http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Dave" wrote in message ...

-----Original Message----- I think I want to shut down some background programs which seem to be slowing me down. I've made a list by going through ctrl + alt + del to find what is running. Here is the list: explorer, Ccapp, Easyshare, Hotsync, Monwow, Csinsm32, wzqkpick, gwremind, realplay, Kodakecs, rundll, tgcmd, qttask, loadqm, imgicon, systray, 3dldemon, nprotect, mdm, csinject, and qoeloader. . Dave, only recommendation at this time is for you to visit the folowing site. http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm There you can see a list of of every pgm. that loads at star up, its function and level of importance for your OS. Then run msconfig click the startup tab and uncheck those you or the OS don't need then exit by clicking the Apply and OK buttons. Hope this helps. |
