Still using a CRT Monitor, too, no doubt?
All my Win 7 machines boot faster than my XP machine but I use an all
wireless network so I probably shouldn't say much about antiques.

Pity you don't have a newsreader, so you must post via Google Groups,
and using Quoted Printable as well, so quoted replies are fubar'd.

XP SP3 is still a supported OS under the MS Lifecycle. You think
because someone uses or supports an older OS that they don't also use
the newer ones? My Windows 7 system boots faster than XP, but not by a
lot....and the XP system is a multiple-boot so there's a delay added
from going through the third-party boot manager.

You think using ClearWire all-wireless makes you "progressive"? LOL!
It performs poorly in my area, with frequent down time as well.
Everyone I know who was using it has switched to cable internet for a
more reliable and high speed connection. "Antiques" has nothing to do
with it.

"Robert Macy" - It's no shame to have cross-posted to the WinXP group, it
was YOUR cleverness to have successfully got your answers by posting to
those groups YOU chose.

"glee" - I myself have a "Made for WinXP" XP-compliant PC, with Pentium4
and 512Mb RAM

Although it takes no time to boot to the Welcome screen, it does take an
age to logon to my profile.

Whereas Win98 had only relatively few Microsoft-originated background
applications / processes, nowadays, XP had bundles of them (background
processes).

....and seemingly more and more with every "Windows Update" and added
"Hotfix"!!

But, once going, as long as I respect what [background] processes are
active and competing with the current user-focused application, we get
along just fine.

Even Microsoft admit that XP (and previous Win OSs) takes too long to boot,
as they addressed this very issue in the currently running advertisements
for Windows 7!

Windows will NEVER be as fast as some other computers and their operating
systems, but I will always prefer the "usability" of Windows, and the way I
can make it do the unorthodox in the way I want.

So, with home computers, it's a case of speed and "slickness" versus the
overall "versatility" of Windows (especially XP)!

If it takes an age to log onto your profile, it isn't because it's XP.
I work on a lot of XP systems regularly, including my own, with all
updates installed, no tweaking of services or anything out of the
ordinary, and the log-in is quick. I'm using a 1.58GHz Sempron 2300+
with 1GB RAM, but it originally had 512MB RAM with no appreciable
difference in log-in time. I think your long log-in time is coming
from elsewhere.

You don't think it's because of background processes loaded and you think
"think your long log-in time is coming from elsewhere"....

Here is mine:

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6530/taskmanagerv.jpg

I will reduce your startup/login time.

My current rate is $1 per second of time decrease measured before and
after.

There is no charge for increases.

LOL! Tim! Are you seriously going to discuss how XP runs all these
background processes, and that post a task list full of third-party
processes as proof?! Please tell me you are joking!

Every one of the processes I have copied below from your list are
third-party processes you have added (some are NT Resource Kit or XP
Power Toys processes), not XP processes:

RapportMgmtService.exe
timeserv.exe
RapportService.exe
BlueSoleil.exe
TaskSwitch.exe
Monitor.exe
LUNABAR.EXE
WZQKPICK.EXE
SAVER.EXE
ZOOM.EXE
PrvDisk.exe
tclock.exe
Diskmon.exe
CLOCK.EXE
UnlockerAssistant.exe
TimsMGR.exe
ServiceLayer.exe
DATALAY.EXE

NO WONDER you take so long to log on!
As I stated, it isn't from XP serives and processes.

These are AVG anti-virus processes:
avgwdsvc.exe
avgrsx.exe
avgemc.exe
avgcsrvx.exe

The only XP processes there that I would eliminate are cisvc.exe and
cidaemon.exe, and that is done by turning off Search Indexing.

Windows XP may run slowly and you may see multiple symptoms in Windows
Task Manager
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899869

Then you can right-click the C: in My Computer, then click Properties,
and uncheck "Allow indexing service to....."

Cheers!

Yes, some of those processes are of my own choosing...

Quick, aren't you!

However, the discussion was started with one of the topics being the
differences between XP and the Win98 OSes.

My tasklist for Win98 went something like :

systray.exe
explorer.exe


...and my tasklist for XP WITHOUT anything "custom" goes something like :

smss
csrss
winlogon
services
lsass
svchost
svchost
MsMpEng
svchost
svchost
spoolsv
svchost
avgwdsvc (I have to have some AV installed!)
svchost
jqs
SMAgent
svchost
avgrsx (more of the AV)
avgemc (and more AV)
avgcsrvx (yet more AV)
alg
explorer
avgtray (and more AV)
hkcmd
MSASCui
Monitor
jusched
CTFMON
Taskmgr
cmd
ntvdm
explorer
avgnsx (last bit of AV)
iexplore
mscorsvw
cisvc
cidaemon
wuauclt
ServiceLayer
wuauclt

OK...we'll top post.

1) You're still listing a few non-XP processes in your new list.
2) Win98 would have shown more than what you listed if you ran an
anti-virus and some other utilities shown in your XP list.
3) The "task list' from Ctrl+Alt+Del in Win98 did NOT show anywhere near
all processes that were actually running.

If you still have a Win98 installation (I do), run Process Explorer and
you will see the "real" task list, and it will show closer to the same
number of processes as a basic XP system...it will likely even show your
mscorsvw if you install .NET Framework on Win98.

I found 4 different versions of Process Explorer previously downloaded
on this machine [Win98]; one is labeled specifically for the WinXP
none of them appeared to do anything, so...

Process Explorer 11.3 software download - Windows - VersionTracker
Feb 16, 2006 ... Find Process Explorer downloads, reviews, and updates
for ... Windows XP; Windows 2003; Windows 2000; Windows NT; Windows
98; Windows 95 ...
www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/32005 -

downled that version, ran it, again, nothing what's it supposed to
do?
I did find an entry in the ctrl-alt-del listing showing procexplorer,
or such, was running, but other than that, nothing going on.

What is it supposed to do?

Dear Glen,
Over about 6 years I have posted less than 10 times so I never
bothered to set up the newsreader. Where I live, there are only 3
choices for ISP's.
1. clearwire.net not to be confused with clear.com, the erratic, short
range high speed wireless service which is not available here.
I was not clear. I run all 3 PC's on a home wireless network using
a dual channel("G" and "N") wireless router which keeps up with the
input and doesn't
drop the internet connection. I get clearwire's highest speed
package at their lowest speed price and I have never had any problem
with them.
Service is much it cheaper by far than Qwest and Cableone.
2. Qwest Only marginally faster speeds are available here but at a
much higher price than my present deal with clearwire.
3. Cableone By far the fastest available speeds in the area. But it is
the cable company, I do not like the way they do business and they
charge much more for
the same speed I am getting from clearwire. Ever try to negotiate
with a cable company? They can double my speed for almost 4 times the
price. As long as
.video streams I can afford to wait for clearwire to increase it's
local speeds.

In any case, I always enjoyed this newsgroup. It never fails to
entertain and I have learned a lot about XP from subscribing to this
group. I expected the curiously sarcastic style many use in their
answers so I don't think I was far from the norm by basically saying
better results are to be had by upgrading one's hard and software as
things evolve. I imagine it must be cool to be writing an extra $60 a
month to the cable company for truly fast internet speeds but what I
have beats dial up about 10 times over. I will miss this group if for
some reason it doesn't survive the changes because my ISP doesn't
somehow stay connected to one of the alternative providers. At least
I've never cross posted or top posted; things that seem to bring out
the little biters.

You reckon I'll find a comparable number of running processes in Win98
installation, do you?

Well, I'll give that a try, I have a W98 installation running as in M$
Virtual PC.

But, as it's getting late, I will try that on the morrow.

BTW - I read the post by "Robert Macy" - will my copy of Process Explorer
run under Win98?

Or do I need another version - was a bit hazy about what he wrote, but
seemed to be having some problems...

Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :)

nice pictures, but that version runs on WinXP and higher, doesn't run
on Win98

Tim,

If the email addy you are using here is legit, I can email you a .zip
file with an older version of Process Explorer that works with Win98.

I found 4 different versions of Process Explorer previously downloaded
on this machine [Win98]; one is labeled specifically for the WinXP
none of them appeared to do anything, so...

Process Explorer 11.3 software download - Windows - VersionTracker
Feb 16, 2006 ... Find Process Explorer downloads, reviews, and updates
for ... Windows XP; Windows 2003; Windows 2000; Windows NT; Windows
98; Windows 95 ...
www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/32005 -

downled that version, ran it, again, nothing what's it supposed to
do?
I did find an entry in the ctrl-alt-del listing showing procexplorer,
or such, was running, but other than that, nothing going on.

What is it supposed to do?
