Thanks for all your suggestions. Most I actually understood, for which I am enormously grateful.
I have the habit of burying my most important question under a lot of verbal rubble, so I want to ask it again in case you missed it. Is there any guide to the Resource Monitor that is more forthcoming than the help files that come with it? Stuff like what the various charts and graphs and numbers are telling me.

Of course, some applications just change this back again when they are run, but on the other hand some applications will not allow you to kill them at the process or application level (AVG, for instance. Why I now have only ClamWin and Piriform scanners. I had to delete what I could of the AVG program files over several reboots to get rid of it). -Arlo James Barnes
