Ah yes, also you virusscanner could be set to ALL fiels read and write. I know McAfee has changed their default setting from "some extensions" to all files both read and write. I prefer to set to "Some extensions" and write only, in addition to that scan the whole computer once a week for all files. Indexing service should not slow down your computer, it only scans while you are inactive.

I recall vaguely some tips about things that can be turned of in windows that tend to bog things down. Some kind of logging, or indexing, or audit trailing, or something. Anyway, if anyone has any hints I'll give them a try. It's a 64bit Athlon processor running with 512MB RAM and WXP Home. Seems to be doing a lot of disk swapping when starting or terminating programs. Also slow startup when changing user accounts. Any tips appreciated.
