startup programs
I have Millenium and my system resources are running at
about 70%, because too many programs are up on the startup list. How do I know which programs are necessary and which I can delete without screwing things up??? Any help would be much appreciated. |

startup programs
Free resources at 70% is excellent. Resources are there to be used so what
exactly are the problems you are seeing? You *may* be able to improve resources at boot time by removing unnecessary applications from being launched each time you boot your PC and only opening them as and when you need them. A good place to look to for advice as to which programs need to be run at startup and those that can be safely disabled, is Pacman's site where he lists what should definitely be retained and which can be safely removed from the startup axis (http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm). Reducing such applications and only starting them when required can free up significant resources. Not though that before disabling any application that you make yourself fully aware of its purpose and understand what the consequences might be, if any, of disabling it at start up. You might also want to check out Jim Eshelman's site for some ideas of how to manage your resources - http://www.aumha.org/a/resource.htm --?
