Any way to get rid of this crap without having to ctrl-alt-del every one of them every time I restart the computer? I have a P3 866 w/ 512 ram and when my computer loads up I'm already down to 36% free memory just because of this horseshit! Anything I can do to fix this?

 

what operating system? there's a startup folder and there is an area in the registry for run and runservices, things in those locations will get loaded.

 

windows itself is probably taking up 30% tho

 

try running 'msconfig' you can see what starting and from what source.,

 

Lee355,

Which specific programs / services are starting automatically? You can disable pretty much anything.

Has a utility "startup monitor" that will let you disable all the crap that loads and keep software from installing itself without your permission....

 

My computer does that too, except itonly has about 20% memory free when it starts up

 

stop DL porn guys!

 

Thank you.
