| 3dldemon.exe
Directly from the programs author "It is a tiny program that is installed by the Permedia2/3 and probably other Oxygen-series cards. Normally it sits in the background doing nothing at all (sleeping on a semaphore), so it should take zero CPU time and virtually zero memory, since it will all be paged out to the hard drive." In most cases it can be safely disabled

| MK.EXE
Memory optimizer. It loads from startup group and it goes off as soon as the program (memokit.exe) is loaded in the System Tray. Mk.exe does not run while the memokit.exe is running. Probably loads a flash screen at startup and shutdown that stays on screen less than 5 seconds and gives you a button to push to purchase the full version. MS MVPs (Most Valued Professional) recommend not using memory managers with Win98/SE/ME. See this article and make up your own mind
