    Is it okay to disable powerdesk at startup?

    I was wondering if it is necessary to have powerdesk run at startup or can I remove it from the registry to save on resources?
    Thanks,

    I always take Powerdesk out of my startup.
    C:\DOS
    C:\DOS\RUN
    \RUN\DOS\RUN

      Same here. Waste of resources, especially on Windows 9x.

        Unchecking 'load PowerDesk' in display properties doesn't always do the trick - you might have to get rid of the registry entry that runs it at startup.
        If you need a powerdesk function when it isn't loaded (like a desktop scheme) you can always use the Pdeskcmd.exe in \windows\system\.

          There is no such option, you're confusing it with quickdesk.
