I am using firefox and I reconfiged and condensed. I think I need to do something with getting programs off the desk top, or something like that.

I cleaned out files etc. something is slowing this up. Perhaps if I get rid of Jetcast?

I don’t think programs on your desktop use resources.

Programs running in the background in your system tray do.

I don’t know where they show up at firefox, but in IE they are in the lower right corner.

If you have a lot of shortcuts on your desktop, you can delete them, or move the into a folder somewhere.

This shouldn’t affect your performance, though.
