I like the right-click search as well. I use that feature all the time but I forgot to mention it. On RealPlayer: Go to Start/Run and type msconfig and hit enter. Go to the startup tab and look for an entry called realplay. Uncheck it to keep it from loading and consuming your resources every time you boot. I discovered it when ZoneAlarm gave me a popup asking me if I wanted to permit it to access the internet. I ZA no and started hunting for the culprit. I think it is....was.. some kind of automatic updater. I've used RealPlayer a couple of times since removing the startup just to see if the program would function without it. So far, everything is ok.
