Ask the expert: Do multiple instances of apps on one machine slow performance?
[Serdar Yegulalp]
Dear Serdar,
I am experiencing very slow performance on my Toshiba 4300 laptop running Win2K. I reviewed the Task Manager and found four instances of svchost.exe running concurrently, using from 5-15 MB of RAM. Msiexec.exe also had three instances running using up to 15 MB of RAM. Should there be multiple instances of these apps?

Most users and administrators are familiar with the Startup folder in Windows, which holds shortcuts for programs to be launched when a user logs in. On systems that don't receive much fine-tuning, the Startup folder is often very crowded. Find out what you can do about it in this tip.
