If you close everything but "explorer", I doubt how your computer will work,
you need "explorer" AND "systray" to let the computer function properly.
If you could give more detail on your 486 claim, I'd like to know more
please. Did you use a SCSI drive on 486? you cannot compare IDE with SCSI
drive on this topic, it's like to compare fire power of a .38 hand-gun with
a M16 machine gun, they are not on same level.
Everyone has their own experience so let us share yours, it will benefit
everyone else on the list.
