One common problem that affects just about everyone who uses Windows is the tendency to have too much stuff running at startup. Sometimes it seems like every program you install wants to make sure it runs every time you turn on your PC. The result, especially if you use Windows 98 or Windows Me, is a general slowdown and the risk of an unstable system.
To solve the problem, I recommend Mike Lin’s Startup Control Panel, a free utility that allows you to see exactly what’s running at startup. You can disable or delete any item on the list with just a couple of clicks.
Excellent stuff.

Dear Sir, can you help me, please?
I have to remove my local network installation in one computer of the net (2 compt.) to solve a connection problem. May I? How?
Thank you so much if you can help me.

Sure! Just open the Network Connections folder, find the Local Area Connectionicon,and press Delete.
Hey Ed,
I guess your were pretty tied up writing your new book about Office 2003. Please let us know when it hits the shelves (I heard something about August 15)…
I got a copy of your Office XP book and earned every possible Microsoft Office Specialist Certification. So kudos to you guys for your excellent work.
PS: I noticed that the new book is quite bigger than the previous one. Are you covering the new Office 2003 members like Infopath and OneNote???
