Yer welcome.

Steve - next question.

When I do a ctrl-alt-delete and look at the 'Processes' list, I see
about 40 executables running. What is a good way to verify which
should or shouldn't be running?

Google the file name of all of them. It is cumbersome but it will give
you an idea of what it is.

I was hoping for something a little more automated. But, if that's the
only way, then that's what I'll do.

About the virus thing. I hadn't had anything for years and I ran my
W/98 machine "bareback" for most of that time. I just got on XP last
spring. I wonder if this last thing would have even "stuck" on W/98.
If I could find the web site again I might load up a sacrificial
machine and go look. I have a bunch of old machines around here.

I wouldn't bother. When your machine slows down, do a rebuild and be
done with it. The biggest part of the process is over time organizing
your information so it can be easily backed up, and more importantly,
restored to the "new" system.

I put most information into separate folders including copies of
settings for each program, favorites, picture and vid galleries,
personal info and communications, *passwords and logins*, program
registrations, etc. Put all logins and associated information from all
programs and make file cards or similar, lock them up. Take your time
doing this, make sure you keep several (at least 3) copies of
everything. Test your ability to restore that info to a newly rebuilt
windows system.

Then every few months or if I suspect a big problem that the usual
amtivirus won't take care of, I format, rebuild windows, set up the
antivirus, Internet, and over a few days, put back all of my programs
and logins, etc...

In the mean time I suppose you can do what you have been doing, but if
you have that much time, I would work on a good back up and restore
system...

Just my .02

I do the same. It takes me about 4 hours to have my system back to 100%.
Once or twice a year and all is good.

One tip, to make things easier... if you have a 2nd hard drive, and you
should, move your message store, and "My Documents" to that drive. That
saves on a boatload of copying. There, I did it, I wrote "boat" to keep
things on topic. g
