A couple of old utilities come to mind.  One is "SLOWDOWN.COM" --
check at a PCMAG (PC Magazine) archive.  The other is "Mo'Slo"; check
for "0942-TSL.ZIP" (first digit may be incorrect.)  The latter has a
variable slowdown from 1-99%, if I recall correctly.  Haven't tested
either on a recent computer so you get to test these on your system!

No!

http://www.pcmag.com/ Has many, many great utilities: BHOCop, COA2,
Crackup, DiskAction, EndItAll2, Folders, HDValet, InCtrl5, ListZapper,
RegDetective, RegEdit+, StartupCop, WinTidy, etc. Now, suddenly, there
is a subscription fee at PCMag, but, it's worth it, especially if you
can get the whole bundle that is there.

.........Start..................
Yearly billing  $19.97
Yearly billing (For PC Magazine subscribers)  $14.97
Monthly billing (limit 3 downloads/month)  $4.97
.........End...................

You may try Google, but do you really want to download from any odd
site?

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
