msconfig??

[smoorman]

When I go into msconfig and uncheck some of the boxes in startup my available sys resources increase. Are there some of these that improve performance that I should'nt mess with? What is findfast?

[RyanVM]

FindFast is an MSOffice thingy that has no real purpose besides wasting resources http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif. By unchecking boxes in msconfig (one of the greatest programs ever written!), you're telling certain things not to start, therefore freeing up resources (it's not hogging memory or processor power that way!).

Generally there won't be a problem with unchecking boxes, but always expect the unexpected. If something goes fruity, begin there.

scan registry, delay, task monitor, etc, etc, etc.
