| Checking which programs load at startup | ||

Many applications are
indiscriminate about where they put files on your computer. This
translates into the fact that, during a Windows 98 launch, a part of a
program loads into RAM without your knowledge. It might surprise you to
hear that this waste of memory could continue even after you thought you
had uninstalled the application. To look at the programs that start up
whenever you launch Windows, go to Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System
|
Information. Then go to Tools, System Configuration Utility and click the Startup tab. From here, you can uncheck any program you do not want to launch at startup.
