as they say; "TOTAL physical memory" which is your RAM, what you have
installed, and "AVAILABLE physical memory", yes, what's still available
after what all you have open is consuming. I'm not sure on a good ratio
for you since there are too many variables.

When I go to startprogramsaccessoriessystem toolsSystem info and then
look at the total physical memory displayed, is that my ram memory and
is the available physical is that what is left at the time I am viewing
it? If it is what is a good ratio to have there. It appears that I have
256mb and as I write this missive I have 50mb left. Is that all the
stuff that is running in the background. Thanks

Answer
Yes on the OS (XP Home) Clint and thanks for the input. I have a friend
that is using XP Home with 128m of ram and she uses AOL 9. Often dabbles
in pictures and I believe the Ram would be better with 256mb. She is
using a laptop Dell 2100 with a processor speed of
1ghz. How much of the stuff in the background can you get rid of without
making the system suffer? I have turned off some of it but of coarse M$
send their message each time you start up. I know we need AV in the
background and I think this version of AOL has Mcfee.

"What kind of "message" are you speaking of?"
The one that says you have modified the startup and are in selective mode. I can't get rid of the message even tho I click Don't tell me this anymore and then say ok. It still comes back when the computer is restarted.
On batch files I do not know how to do that.
I also find it difficult to tell what you are turning off in the msconfig mode.
