Help with Shutting Down and keeping certain Task down.
Well, my problem here is that on my old OS, Win98, there was this program that I could access in my System Information utility, that would help me keep certain task from starting up, so that my RAM isn't over crowded with useless programs. Now, I'm using XP, and that program isn't there anymore when I look under the tools menu in System Information.
Is there anyway I can keep useless programs from constantly starting up at start up, and keeping them shut down? I know this is kinda advanced, and few people would know this, but I need help cause I have only 192 MB of Ram, the minimal needed to even run XP, so hopefully you can all see my problem.

I've been using theapplication for a long time. I don't use MSCONFIG on XP for any reason other than to diagnose the problem. Galen -- "But there are always some lunatics about.
