But FLACs wouldn't generally tend to fragment. They get written once and then are generally not touched. It's not a bad idea to put them on a separate partition (even better to put them on a separate drive) but you will probably find that they don't fragment too much because they're so static. In regards to startup processes, a free program which I've used for a very long time is Codestuff Starter: http://codestuff.tripod.com/products_starter.html It allows you to see a few more things than MSCONFIG and has a handy Google search function that allows you to search each startup item. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta), SBC (beta - no battery) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56381 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
