Can anybody recommend any utilities that will shut down the unnecessary
programs that the developers of Windblows insist on running in the
background, i.e messenger, outlook, ad nasuem. I am only running this
horrible operating system because Photoshop CS2 runs on it and I cannot
afford aMAC at this time. I tried "End it All" but that was not of much
help because I had to figure which programs to close and the menu only
gave me the names of programs I need to run.
What I would hope to find is a program that will recognize the unwanted
windblows background stuff and turn off anything that will not cause the
machine to crash. I know that's asking for a lot because it does not
take much to crash Windblows.
My machine has an Anthlon XP 3200 "Barton" CPU, a Maxtor 250 gb HD, 2GB
of PC 3200 400 DDR, Windows XP, Service Pack 2 and a few other nice
things. I'm tired of Windblows running a bunch of crap in the
background that are not needed, and useing up a lot of memory.
TIA
Paddy
