not the brightest spark...

Hello all,
Can anyone point me in the general direction of an article that will help me improve my system performance under xp.
I read one somewhere with a list of 20 things to do, but I can't remember where.
Alos I've just changed my virtual memory settings on the advice of an article that was intended for Win 98 I think.
The paging file size has been reduced way down to 150MB inital and 200MB max for both my hard drives.
Is this okay and what the blazes does it mean anyway?
kind regards
Flashmammy
many thanks

I've just checked my processes on with the old ctrl/lt/del and SCVHOST.EXE is eating up 23,000 bytes. Dies anybody know what it is?
I've also got a list of about 30 processes on there. Is this normal? Will it be slowing my down?

Dec 21, 2005 07:15 pm There's another site that *really* gets into the nutz & boltz of winxp, and I think there's a link to it on the musicxp.net site, but I can't find it right away. Another thing you can do is go to www.microsoft.com and "Support" and "Search the Knowledge Base" and type in the file name you're curious about. You should get quite a few hits.

www.liutilities.com/produ...ibrary/svchost/
At the bottom of the page it shows links to most of the common processes. Its kind of a convenient because all of them are listed in one place and it keeps you from searching all over the web.
