i was wondering if there are any programmes that allow you to see what programmes are running in the background and allows you to disable them if need be cheers .grahamo
I suggest the first thing to do is visit this site and have a read.
Many programs install themselves so they launch automatically at Windows start-up. Whether you need them or not, they're using memory and CPU cycles. Windows 98, Me, and XP users can disable unnecessary background programs using the Startup tab of the MSCONFIG program, which you can launch from the Start menu's Run dialogue. Windows 2000 users will need a third-party tool.
Disabling anything listed in MSCONFIG should be safe. But keep in mind that if you disable the system tray, you'll lose the clock and volume control in the system tray.
Take a look at Startup and Started utilities.
