RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] problem with icons on Windows ME

["Ross, Matt" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

This isn't linux, Winbl0wz hides startup things that you can only remove in
NT versions.. If your loading 50 icons in the tray on startup, then yes,
that would be your problem, but even at that, I usually don't get this bad
of a memory problem.  Could also be some corruption in the win startup files
that allows a large memory leak. How long has he had it installed?
