    Is there a quick way of shutting down background programs selectively? When I play certain games I manually shut down zonealarms, Virus prog. etc to free up resources. After playing, I then restore them all - this takes time as each one has to be done individually. If I could shut selected progams down together and restore them together life would be that bit easier!
    Thanks in anticipation!
