unknown win drivers

August 9th, 2000, 05:36 PM

When I ctrl-alt-del I get about 20 drivers listed. How do I find out what these are all for? I suspect I don't need them all, and would like to free up some of my resources. With no desktop programs running, I am only at about 70%, on a 750 PIII machine.

Thanks,
Kevin

Those are not drivers - they are programs. See what you have in Start > Programs > Startup.

Also Start > Run > Msconfig > Startup and you can get rid of what you don't need.

If you want to find which program the applications are associated, write them down and go to Start button/ Find/ Files or folders and do a search. That will give you the program folder it's in.
