Startup Programs Needed and Not Needed
|
Here is quick look at what must run when Windows 98 starts.
You should have these:
| TaskMonitor |
Recommended - standard windows disk optimization support |
| SystemTray |
Required to make the system tray work |
| LoadPowerProfile |
Two of these are required for power management (one when a user is logged on and one when not) |
| StillImageMonitor |
Required to support USB |
Depending on what optional items you have installed, the following might
also be required. If you see any of these listed in your MSCONFIG Startup
list, it is probably required.
afvxd.vxd, dfs.vxd, elbycheck.exe, explorer.exe, grpconv.exe, hhctrl.ocx,
internat.exe, ios.vxd, javasup.vxd, kmixer.sys, mountmgr.sys, msmouse.vxd,
ndis.vxd, ndis2sup.vxd, ndiswan.vxd, redbook.sys, rnapapp.exe, rnbostart,
rr2envxd.vxd, rsrcmtr.exe, rundll32.exe-iernonce.dll,runonceexprocess,
rundll32.exe-nvqtwk,nvcpldaemon,
rundll32.exe-powrprof.dll,loadcurrentpwrscheme, scanregw.exe, shell32.dll,
statemgr.exe, stimon.exe, svchost.exe, systray.exe, taskmon.exe,
update.sys, vfixd.vxd, vi_grm.exe, vmm32.vxd, viagart.vxd, vnetbios.vxd,
vnetsup.vxd, vredir.vxd, vrtwd.386, vrtwd.vxd, vserver.vxd, winbait.exe,
wshtcp.vxd, wsipx.vxd, wsock.vxd, wsock2.vxd
The following show up as part of commonly installed programs but are not
required for normal functioning of the products:
| QuickTime Task |
QuickTime will start when you need it. This just wastes memory when you are not using it. |
| Office Startup |
This loads all that annoying Microsoft Office desktop clutter. |
| SchedulingAgent |
This allows you to schedule programs to run at specified times. You'll probably never use it. |
| LVComs |
Installed with Logitec camera support. Camera works fine without it. |
