NO I just got here.
I am using firefox and I reconfiged and condensed. I think I need to do something with getting programs off the desk top, or something like that.
I cleaned out files etc. something is slowing this up. Perhaps if I get rid of Jetcast?
WTG, Eeevil!
Tell John I’ll come down and hold his place for a year. Expenses only.
Programs running in the background in your system tray do.
I don’t know where they show up at firefox, but in IE they are in the lower right corner.

If you have a lot of shortcuts on your desktop, you can delete them, or move the into a folder somewhere.
This shouldn’t affect your performance, though.
The lower right hand courner next to the time?
CTRL-ALT-DEL....that tells you what’s running. Look for the biggest memory pigs. Close them down.
Having a lot of audio and video?
Libs are loving this Blackwater scandal. Even the name sounds insidious: “Blackwater.” Conjures up dark, shady, downright evil things, doesn’t it?
If you have icons there, they may be running.
You can make them disappear and appear with IE
Prolly can with FF too.
> The lower right hand courner next to the time?
Yes. That’s called your “system tray”. They are programs that start when you log in.
If you have too much junk running, you can take a performance hit.
As a test you can right click on some of them and see if they have a “exit” option.
EXACTLY!!!!
politicizing the heck out of our troops......
CTRL-ALT-DEL opens the Task Manager....see the Processes tab.
been listenin’ but which idiot said the blackwater thing was “probably true” but ..............that is how these lies start
Some times if you don’t know what something is, it’s not a good idea to do that
It can make the computer screw up
In my experience anyway...
Some of the “biggest memory pigs” are keeping the computer running.
Did that.
There is a free program from Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/AutoRuns.mspx
that will tell you what programs are starting with windows.
Its a little technical, but very useful for clearing out start up junk.
