Shadowman: I have taken a look at things many times via the CTRL-ALT-DEL and looked under, "Processes." 100% of the time the biggest memory user is IEXPLORE.EXE (currently 121,796K with 9 browser windows open). Often, explorer.exe is around or over 40,000K, but currently it is 8,348K. Something called svchost.exe (system file) is the second largest at 31,980K.

Checking the, "Performance," section, "PF Usage [whatever that is] is 478 MB]. CPU changes between 0 and 6%, mostly staying in the 3-5% range.

Unless I am sure what something is on the Processes page, I leave it alone.
