TSR = Terminate & Stay Resident

It's a throwback term from the old DOS days where you'd have programs loaded at startup that would 'stay' in memory until the computer was restarted.

It used to be a big issue as DOS has a VERY limited amount of memory it can use. Not as much of an issue with Windows 9x.
