Gus,
You can download End It All at
http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,,0011NB,.html.
However, I have found it a lost simpler and faster to just degrag in safe
mode.
Good Luck.

All the programs that you see in your taskbar where the clock is should
be
closed. To shut most of these programs you need to do Ctrl-Alt-Del once,
and
when the taskmanager box opens do End Task to each program EXCEPT
Explorer
and Systray.
I had once asked on this list if anybody knew of a program that would do
this task for me in one shot, instead of having to go the Ctrl-Alt-Del
route
and end tasking each program one by one. Someone on the list recommended
a
program called End It All which does exactly that. I don't remember where
I
downloaded it from and hopefully that person will reply to your post with
the address. If not, you can send me your email address and I can send it
to
you. It is not a very big program so it should be no problem to send it
via
email.
