Most people have WAY to many programs running in their start menu to begin with , so it's a logical place to EXPLORE

Raven - I used "digitaL" and I used smileys:

I don't want to come across as condescending at all but you need to understand that sometimes your computer recommendations are not the best. Some of it is OK, some of it isn't. Some if it may be misleading.

!.) not turn them off forever- GEESCH
No need to turn them off, period. Much safer that way. Yes, there is a chance some patch will crash a system. BEST method is to autodownload but let YOU choose when to install. Only do this if YOU PROMISE to do them no longer if they are a week old (give others a chance to break 'em) AND you know there is not a patch fixing a critical vulnerability under major exploit at the time.
Servers different story but someone actively manages those.

2.) they can be rescheduled to run when your not
using the PC like at 4: am
Just leave autoupdate on.

3.) i specifically mentioned ADOBE not the microsoft updates ||||which can be configured separately ||||| Just keep it updated, and flash, and Java

4.) i suggested he look at all programs running with a beautiful FREE program that i find extremely useful
Half of beautiful free programs do more damage than they fix

5.) i KNOW your method for diagnosing computer slow-downs

Its not that way at all, I use more creative thinking than you can imagine but I've also been doing this professionally for 15 years for organizations from 5 people to 300 to 3,000.

We love you kid, but I can assure you my computer advice is superior. Gardening, farming? I gladly and quickly defer to you.

BobT - what do you have for Internet?

1.5GB is a HUGE file and you should probably process before uploading.
