andsome Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 You can stop almost everything from loading at start up. A click will soon get programs loaded as you want them. I only load O/S and Anti Malware and a few others. Office, photo editing , Acronis, etc etc are all stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadyassa Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Press control-alt- delete keys together, that will bring up task manager, they show in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 The 3 finger salute - cntrl+alt+del brings up TASK manager. Go through the tabs on the top. They show apps currently running that you can select and stop; processes: performance etc. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
