There is a little program that I have used to set up what may load when I turn on the computer. It was taking a long time because when you installed a new program it went ahead and put itself on the start menu. If I can find the link (I have posted it here at Mudcat before) I'll send it along. It's a little freeware program.

There are tasks that once the computer starts them, it doesn't want to be interrupted until finished. I learned a long time ago that if I follow a link and it leads me to a PDF file and Acrobat Reader opens, to just leave it alone. If I try to go back or click the X to delete the browser window, the computer will crash. I think this is a problem with Acrobat and how bossy the program is. If you've started downloading a program and the computer hasn't finished, it will misbehave if you're impatient.
