The new Dell's are shipped with a bunch of stuff that automatically runs on startup
- there's even a Java update notification from Sun! Run msconfig and the last tab
should show you what is set to run on startup. Look these up on Sysinfo
and uncheck the ones that you don't need. Norton 2004 is a real hog though if you're
running that.
Restart after you uncheck the programs you don't want to run and it should be faster.
