i keep my tray free of EVERYTHING & ANYTHING! all i run is outlook @ work and the PLD link for the scanner (which i use alot @ work).
work computer sucks but with only the estimating software+outlook+excel+IE running it pulls about 400mb on XP. laptop pulls ~350 on vista with same configuration
www.blackviper.com has some good info... I just used their settings on the house computer and it brought the resources way down. Went from running 800mb on xp down to 150
Friend of mine bought her husband a new laptop with vista; could not get wireless internet access working. I screwed with it for quite a while and finally turned off the norton that came with it. Then the internet was accessible. I know that this was a norton issue rather than a vista issue (I installed AVG, worked without a single hitch) but it was rather frustrating trying to navigate thru vista to find where to make changes (with the corresponding "yes/no" nanny dialog boxes) when in XP I knew right where to go to look at stuff. I was totally unimpressed with vista. I see no reason to inflict it on my own systems. I'd rather install ubuntu.

teach yourself what you can close. as long as you leave explorer.exe open you can still just do a restart and they will all come back till you close them again.
used "safe" black viper services for vista prem and got processes down to 51 and ram usage down to 465mb from 685mb. It was worth the 8 mins it took!
