System Resources-
There is a free program named `Wintop' (Windows Process Watcher) which will show what programs are in your startup function, what programs are running, and what percentage of your systems resources are being used. It is continuously updated. You can keep it on your desktop, or keep it minimized in the taskbar. It is interesting to see that an animated web ad can tie up 30 % of your systems resources! It is part of the Microsoft Windows95 Kernel Toys. Although the article says win95 only, it seems to work ok on win98. Click below to download :
