my startup sucks! macafee takes forever and runs a crapload of background tasks, plus I have other things, like quicktime and msn messenger that i don't know how to prevernt from auto starting! how do i fix this?

as for shutdown, i found a guide as to how to change the delay windows puts on shutdown and changed it from 20 secs to 4 secs. Which is awesome, but i can't help but worry.......... is this doing anything wrong? will i hurt anything by changing the delay from 20 down to 4? and why was it at 20 in the first place?!?! seems, well, odd

pc specs jus in case:

Vaio FS laptop
512 ram
pentium M, 1.86 GHZ
100gig hd
 
some of these things, like "issch" , "NvCpl", "AvRmtCtr", "hpztsb07", "RTHDCPL"............etc i have no idea what the heck they are?!

as for the shutdown thing, is changing it to 4 secs ok? shud i crank it up a bit? any adverse affects from that?

thanks for any help u can give
 
set it at 15, to be safe... could cause improper seating of the harddrive when closing windows, but courisoustly, how did you get it to shut down faster?
and if i were you, id disable all but the anti-crap, like anti-virus/spyware/adware/firewall crap, leave that up, but disable the rest
