System tray needed?

[jasaroony]

I currently have a pretty slow computer and so i went into msconfig and disabled any startup things that i saw, I only left load power profile because it sounded important. I have heard that you need system tray and scanregistry, but my computer seems to run faster without them because of the system resource bonus. Is there a reason i need either of these things enabled to run windows normally?

Welcome to vdr.

You can disable the power profiles, but yyou will have to manually scandisk and defrag plus what ever else you have scheduled to be done.
system tray, M$ [microsoft] says to leave it and I do. But, there are people who disable it.
Scanreg: Leave this as when you start up for the day it makes a backup of the registry which can be used to fix problems sometimes that show up.
The dos command is scanreg /restore. To learn more on the command, at the top of the page is post new topic and use the search that is below it.
Use scanreg /restore as the search words then, in search forum select windows 98.

hope this helps and how much ram do you have and the make/model of the computer or motherboard as maybe someone here can help you speed it up.
