Slow Starting PCthe quickest way is to have a look at your start up folder and see what's running, then just uncheck what you think needs not to be ran at start up. I think there is a start up manager on the jfwlite site, for the people who are not sure what to leave and to keep running. hth ----- Original Message ----- From: G Ward To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 1:44 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Slow Starting PC Hi Simon How do I know what to uncheck I'm not very sure what most of the items are.
