    I really wouldnt bother with that memory optimizer, I tried on a few computers and it made no difference at all that I could see (It can be turned off you realise!)

    Install CCLEANER if you havnt already. You should be able to disable the memory optimiser from starting up within that.

    no no
    the 3rd option down lets you stop programs from starting up. (Underneath the registry bit) ~ (actually theres 2 options, uninstall and START UP)
