Man, I can't wait 'till Windows Vista's released. The capacity bars're hella more useful than those pie charts.

Re: Computer Question
Here's something. Does anyone know how pick and choose what starts when Windows starts up? I'm sure I've got a bunch of unnecessary crap going that's boggingdown my computer.The Cyclops having only one eye, needed to seek shelter from the harsh sun.

Re: Computer Question
I've have winpatrol on my system it's very helpful for spyware/adware things.
Since it'll display a warning on what's trying to get into your system.There is one thing that pretty much disturbes me in an SRPG....

Re: Computer Question
Windows has an utility called MSCONFIG (invoke it from Start -> Run; it should already be installed on your machine) whereby you can choose which items run at start up.
In WIN.INI, under the [windows] section, there can be "load=" and "run=" entries (also executed at startup). These exist all the way back from Windows 3.1, and as such, I don't think anyone would find anything here nowadays, but who knows (spyware).
I didn't know about WinPatrol. I always use the AdAware + SpybotS&D combo.
Finally, Grisoft/AVG offers a free edition of its antivirus.Last edited by TechStorm; 08-26-2005, 05:36 PM.Comment

Re: Computer Question
Winpatrol is different in the fact that you don't run a daily scan, but it's constantly on, and warns you if something is trying to do something it shouldn't.Comment

Re: Computer Question
Videos take up tons of space, so if you just need free space, those should be the first to go.
I have about 40 gigs of videos.
10 gigs of it is Ren and Stimpy!
