I understand that there a a lot of applications which are unneccessary or at the very least use up resourses and stoppint them running on statup can boost performance.
I am using Windows me.. (please don't giggle in the back!) I have 128 meg memory and find on startup and with no applications running I find that anything up to 70% of memory is being used. After opening another application that reaches almost 100%. I have a neat little programme running which recovers memory from programmes which are closed down.
Using msconfig I have found 19 items in the start folder. and I think some of these need not run from startup and all that is required is to de selct from the checkbox.
My problem is how do I know which applications are not really needed at startup.
Some like AVGServ9 and ZoneAlarm are easy to understand AVG being a virus scanner and ZoneAlarm is a firewall.
But what are things such as true vector and scan registry etc, and do I need them running.
I could show you all the items in the start up file if this would help, I simply think that a better performance would happen if some were not running unneccessarily
