    Can anyone recomend me a good task manager program that shows me everything that's running, how much ram it's using and it's address on my hard-drive and maybe more detail on the program ect as the windows one isn't great.

    I'm running xp pro and on startup it eats near to 300mb of ram which is just stupid. Now I do have Norton anti-virus and firewall, ati contol panel and my creative control panel running but it still seems to be very high. Objectdock is running as well. It used to only use 200-250mbs so I want to see what's new.

    That Ace utilities is a handy little program. I cleared about 3 gigs of junk off my hd's with it. Cheers for that.

    I'll give that one a go -AlcoholicA-. That's exactly what i'm looking for, thanks.

    Cheers lads. I got it back down to about 250mb's of usage on startup which is alright for having object dock and Anti-virus ect in the backround.
