Turbocharge Windows 98



	You probably have more applications running than you think: 
	Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the Close Program box. 
	Even with all the obvious, top-level apps shut down, chances 
	are you'll still see a bunch of invisible background applications 
	running. (For a more complete list of hidden programs, run 
	WinTune98 on the WINDOWS Magazine Web site.) 
	
	Each running app eats a little of your CPU time, with a net 
	result of slowing things down. Some apps are worse than others. 
	Microsoft Office's Find Fast is a notorious CPU hog, as are 
	many anti-virus and "disk doctor" apps that run constantly in 
	the background. For programs like these, use the Custom option 
	in each program's Setup applet to control what runs in 
	the background. 
	Use Win98's System Configuration Utility 
	(\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSCONFIG.EXE) to control which 
	system-level tasks load at startup.
