well i certainly wouldn't like it to do that. i guess it could be an option - it would just need the quick launch applet to actually be active in the background and touch all the code that's remaining loaded to ensure it remains in. i can't see the logic in doing that though... if you have, say, 96Mb RAM, and 32Mb is used by windows, a further 32Mb is used by mozilla, and then you load diablo, if you then force mozilla (and of course windows) to remain loaded, then you end up trying to run diablo in only 32Mb of RAM, which means bits of diablo will be continually paged in and out and the game will be unplayable. the amount of RAM is limited, something will have to be paged out to disk. surely it's better to have windows page out the stuff you're not using, rather than have it page out the stuff you are actually running? if you don't want anything paged, then you'll need to have enough RAM to ensure that nothing is forced out. -- michael
