Thank you, that is helpful. *g* My problem is that I would be worried about deleting something. And now I wonder why I would be willing to trust a computer programme to chose to do exactly the same thing, without asking me. I guess because I don't trust windows not to offer me the choice to delete something essential, but I would trust a especially designed programme not to do it. I only have a couple of things in my start up. I always refuse that option when I install something. In task manager the two things that were using CPU capacity, when I looked this morning, when it froze, were pctsSvc.exe, which I think is associated with the spyware doctor and System Idle Process, which appears to be a valid windows function. I'll check out those registry keys, thank you. See if there is stuff there that I don't want. Thanks again.
