Hi All,
Did a "Cntrl" + "Alt" + "Delete". Task manager came up with these items.
1- Explorer. 2- Rnaapp. 3- Avcosol. 4- Findfast. 5-Osa. 6-Imgicon. 7- Systray.
8- Vsstat. 9- Vshwin32. 10- Webscanx.
I am not a computer knowledgeable person. My understanding is to leave explorer
and systray in there. What about the rest? Can I remove them and not affecting
windows operation? Don't understand all those abbreviated words!
Running windows 98 AMD K6- 2/500Mhz.
Thanks & 73, Noel N3NZ
