    you have a lot of autoloading programs probably, most of them dont actually show up in your taskbar. i have a program that actually shows you all this info if you want it. send me a PM with your email and i'll send it over.

    I never use regedit because I really don't know what to do with it. Maybe someone can show me please.

    Damn, must you run everything. No wonder your shits slow. Take out what you feel you dont need. If i was you, i'd remove everything.

    Because it all looks like useless programs to me.
