When I first start my system now I am at 74% free. That is before opening any programs I need. When I open the minimum of what I need I am at 24% free. Minimum is: Qcharts IE – Silicon Investor MS Outlook BestDirect BestDriect Quick Trade Window AIM TeachTrade Update Window MS Excel And that does not account for the number of times during a day I open other programs for work, tax programs, MS Word and so on. In my startup are the following with commentary by me: Taskbar Display Controls RunDLL deskcp16.dll, QUICKRES_RUNDLLENTRY No idea what this is, but it sounds important. AIM C:PROGRAM FILES\AIM95\aim.exe-cnetwait.odl I use this program during the day. BillMinder C:\QWSE\BILLMIND.EXE This reminds me of bills I have due and I exit this program right away as it is way to scary! Gator c:\program files\Gator.com\Gator\Gator.exe A neat little password program. I could delete if necessary, but it is kinda nice. ScanRegistry c:\windows\scanregw.exe /autorun No clue, but if it is registry related I prefer not to mess with it. TaskMonitor c:\windows\taskmon.exe Have often wondered what this is and why it is running. POINTER point32.exe See comment above. QBCD Autorun D:\autorun.exe restart TIMER_SEQUENCE first No clue. RNBOStart C:\Windows\system\RNBOSEENT\SENTSTRT.EXE No clue. SchedulingAgent mstask.exe No clue. TrueVector C:\Windows\system\zonelabs\vsmon.exe –service I assume this is necessary to run my personal firewall from ZONELABS. MiniLog C:\windows\system\zonelabs\minilog.exe –service See comment above. ZoneAlarm C;\Progra~1\zonela~1\zoneal~1\Zoneal~1.exe Personal Firewall. QuickBooks Delivery Agent C:\progra~1\Intuit\quickb~1\compon~1\qbagent\qbdagent.exe This will be removed. I hate quick books, but that is another discussion. Drwatson C:\windows\drwatson.exe I loaded this when I was having Netscape trouble. The only thing I get from it is that when a program blows up, it appears to be the case that there is an illegal memory access error. I can probably remove this as well. Thoughts computer experts? Scott PS - I opened Word to compose this post and after doing so, my system is at 18%.
