Jeff If you are using Windows then I highly recommend the site http://www.blackviper.com/ He has a listing (that you can download) of each of the different options in Windows xp and Microsoft vista that are process's and the options to turn on and off to speed up your computer. If you are not using windows, then the most revered exalted high muck raker will have to tell you how to do it.

Re: [CGUYS] Background programs running
One thing I've noticed on my computer is that a lot of programs are running in the background, some of which do not need to be running. Question...can you direct me to a good source so I can figure out what some of these things are and put an end to the things that do not need to run? Is there a good program (inexpensive or free) that can make the adjustments and close down those things which do not need to be ru I'd like to know that for OSX. I can turn them off temporarily with Activity Monitor but they start up again when I reboot. ANd I have some things that I installed that aren't in Applications folder so I can't get rid of them. How do I find those? I installed a MailTags app that opens when I open Mail. I tried it, don't need it but can't get rid of it. Paula IN/USA Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Re: [CGUYS] Background programs running
I usually google processes I'm not sure of, more often then not the result is from http://www.liutilities.com/ which produces a program called wintasks. This program allows you to do what you are asking. Not sure about a freeware app that has these kind of options. Between using google and the msconfig command built into windows xp you can pretty much do the same thing.

[CGUYS] Background programs running
One thing I've noticed on my computer is that a lot of programs are running in the background, some of which do not need to be running. Question...can you direct me to a good source so I can figure out what some of these things are and put an end to the things that do not need to run? Is there a good program (inexpensive or free) that can make the adjustments and close down those things which do not need to be running? I do a lot of graphics work and that can bog down the computer by itself...does not need the help of those additional useless programs. Thank you.
