Do you clear out your temporary internet files regularly? You should keep applications 
running in your startup to a minimum. Everything in your startup, is constantly running 
in the background. These things that should help.

First, check in the options of the programs themselves. Right-click on the icons 
in the tray area, open each, go through the options to turn off the "tray" or "run 
at startup" feature. 

I suggest you download 98's Msconfig into your Windows\System folder. It's one of 
the useful features, Windows 95 doesn't have.


Msconfig.exe

For the others, go to Start - Run, type: msconfig. Under startup tab....  Leave checked: 
Systray, Load Power Profile (two), and your firewall, if you have one. 

Note: Load Power Profile only if you use power saving schemes. For info. on any other 
processes that you have listed, check here to see whether they're needed in your 
startup.

Follow Microsoft's instructions to kill the Find Fast Indexer. Do NOT renable it; 
it's usless and uses a lot of resources.
