A lot of those are Windows just doing its thing. Remove anything from Startup that you don't need Start > All Programs > Startup but what will make a big difference is cleaning up the Registry which will be absolutely crammed full of stuff that's been uninstalled. But be careful, if you delete the wrong things you could kill your computer. Download JV16 Power Tools demo and run that to clean up. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to lsfphelpls)

I suggest you reinstall DW. You can use msconfig if you know what you're doing. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

jaybee Posts: 13957 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	RE: I defragment / cleanup(9gb of 30gb of C:/ drive) bu... - 12/16/2007 11:17:54 It depends. You need to look through the DW folder to see if there is a file in there that holds the snippets. If there is then take a copy of it and put it somewhere else before you re-install. I don't have DW on my machine so I can't check. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to lsfphelpls)

Copy the js files and then you can put them back when you have re-installed. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

I don't know what you have running on your machine. I have 56 processes running on mine. My partner has 67 running on his. Most of those processes are to do with Windows and if you delete them then Windows will stall or crash. If you want to know what all the processes are then type the name of the process into Google search and you will find information about it. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

START>>RUN>> type in "MSCONFIG" go to the Startup tab and it will show you what is being executed during bootup. take a good look and determine what should and shouldn't be there, such as pesky little spyware. _____________________________ Swoooosh Just Do It!

Read responses to thread 2. Google unknown processes as suggested 3. Delete unwanted processes from startup 4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 as required. 5. Contact Adobe/DW support re: DW repair/install/whatever - unfortunately our cystal ball's out of action right now _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to Larry M.)
