No, in all my years of struggling with Win9x I never found a freeware app
that could do this. But it's not hard to figure out - just watch your
resource meter while you open/close an app. You're going to find that both
those you mention are real resource hogs and worse - when closed they will
not return all the resources they took to open! This is one reason why
Win9x must be rebooted throughout the day.
There are several (some freeware) RAM Optimizers that try to regain some of
this slack, but I've never found any of them to be nearly as good as a reboot.
The good news is the newer versions of windows (WinNT - Win2K, WinXP) do
away with this nonsense and use main memory to deal with resources, so if
needed you can simply buy more RAM (won't work in Win9x).
