closing all programs in win xp
|
|
|
| I want to close all programs before defragramenting (So It doesn't take to
the year 2999). With The new style of Close program most programs are
considered prosses which I was told never to close any of them unless I knew
exactly what I was closing. Can I Go in and close everything but systray and
explorer like on windows 95. Should I just close everything I could See
beside going in Close program?
Help appretiated

Msconfig.

| Restart in Safe Mode and defrag from there, also disable Virtual Memory and
Hibernate and re-enable them after defrag.

| The XP defragger is quite quick
Which defragger are you using?
XP defragger does not have the problems with open files than 98 had

secconds If stuff is running.(or it seemed to) Maybe I should just turn the
