a. booting will not restart since the startup line was dropped from the startup list.
I like haveing a clean machine
.... I usually run nothing in the background which assures
the cpu will have no drags. some, like norton will slow down the whole kit and kaboodle - I have
more than one reason to dislike norty.
for years and years I have not run anti anything. Not even the firewall. lately I have been trying a few, and now, on avast.
I like the oncall ability but need to figure how to get it running in background only when online, and
not run at all other times.
the only other thing I run is CCleaner - immediately after doing my online loop - ebay - yahoo - hotmail, and
occasionally a known retail site to check prices. this is why I have never botthered with anti virus pgms.
hahaha since I downldd avast - I have been getting hit with a company ' malware ' that jumps up and
runs a ' check ' and finds lots of trojans. but to fix you have to pay the bucks.
last night at shutdn I cleared all cookys - int files etc... plus the whole prefetch dir. ran all my checker pgms
so we shall see how malware is getting in .
your second answer 1. there is no option whithin appearance or setting 2. already tried that but it didnt change the
startup since it did a repair (my re-install)and didnt fix everything. 3. I will try that and or 4. reg key
there is a way to change the task tray contents. I did it last year after a lot of clicking around - but being
the idiot I am - I didnt write it down - so now I will have to look again. probably fire up my old pc and see if
there is a pgm that I had used, or a note i followed hahahaha the hunt is afoot....
and ... as I figured - if all else fails - uninstall and re- do it all.
