aco Veteran Posted October 1, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 1, 2001 Why does Winamp need to be in the tray? Keep your tray free of junk! :devious: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtLENIN Posted October 1, 2001 Author Share Posted October 1, 2001 ...that quick program if yah know what i mean where you can bookmark yahr songs and **** (yeah, im k00l).. ahh! winamp agent was the name.. when im running it it uses ALOT of recourses (bad spelling, i know) and it generally ****s up. not any problem really, you can close it :D one more thing: when im asking to shut down the computer, it restarts... funny :right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyllyWylly Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Agreed, get rid of the tray icon, it's supposed to make WA load faster, but what it's really doing is keeping a thread alive and using resources when you're NOT using winamp. I let it go for a while and it was never a problem for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 I noticed even if you remove it from the tray, there is still a registry key in the Run section. I always delete that just to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyllyWylly Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Yeah, the run key will make it come back next reboot. If you disable the agent instead of closing it, that should kill it too. I haven't checked my reg to see if that's the case or not. As an interesting side note: The agent (winampa.exe) sits in the tray, doing absolutely jack, and sucks up close to 2MB RAM for the privilege. Winamp (winamp.exe) takes 1500k at idle - half a meg less - and when playing jumped to 3700k (3.7MB). So tell me again why I have this little app sucking up RAM that could be better used for something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabUK Veteran Posted October 3, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2001 I always disable the Agent when I install WA, then it never shows itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
