| 92101 | 2002-10-24 03:44:00 | >>> And why can't you close Systray? I have run my PC without Systray without any problems, but I keep seeing people saying you can't close it. Danger, you can close it, but you won't have the Volume icon (or the clock??) and most people want those there so we tell them to leave Systray running. It's not one of the processes running that causes problems when you are troubleshooting. |

| 92102 | 2002-10-24 04:11:00 | www.pacs-portal.co.uk Look at the above link for a reasonably good list of what background items can be closed and what they are for. A good way to close some of these would be to go Start > Run > type in msconfig > press Enter > click on the Startup tab > have a look at what is programmed to load at startup and compare it to the list at the above link, anything that you don't require you can remove the tick > Click Apply and Ok > Restart > upon restart you will get a message advising you are using Selective Startup > tick the box. Hopefully you will now see some improvement in regards to what is running in the background. Also look in Start > Programs > Startup. Some programs will load temselves here to load at startup, if need be open the program and remove the option to load at startup and drag the link from the Startup to somewhere else in the Programs list. |
