these are two wonderful programs. FS Autostart's specialty is in shutting down unnecessary programs to clear all available memory of FS. FS Manager is an overall manager which includes a utility to optimize ram.My question is, do they both affect ram the same way? I generally like to use Fs Manager only because it gets things started a bit more quickly. I manually shut down other background programs manually. With that consideration, do both programs clear ram the same way, or if not, how do they differ. Thanks to both Ken Salter and Rana Hossain for their generous work!Sherm
