Jeff,

On Windows NT, if you're using a multi-processor machine, the task manager
performance view shows a window for each processor. Also Performance Monitor
lets you add a trend for each processor. If task manager does not show more
than one processor, then your NT installation is only using one processor.
If you've installed NT on a single processor machine, then upgraded to a
dual processor machine you won't have the multi-processor kernel and will
still be using only one processor. If this is the case, there is a MS
knowledgebase article the tells you how to upgrade.

Two slightly obscure Windows question:

(1) Is there a way to show CPU utilization by processor in NT and 2000
    for multiprocessor machines?  The regular task manager
    'performance' tab just shows "CPU utilization" of 0-100%.

(2) On 95/98, I recall once running a built-in Windows utility that
    brought up some menus related to Windows startup that let you edit
    the startup sequence.  No just the startup group of the start menu
    but also some entries in the registry that automatically launched
    programs at startup.

I keep getting more and more icons in my system tray that "just won't go
away" and I'm trying to exorcise them :-)
