OK I give up - someone tell me about Mac OS (7.5.7) extensions.

After getting our Mac we had several clashes - some fiddling around and we
got rid of all the problem ones. Now my daughter has got a new program
that clashes with - guess what - our PPP extension - eek! So at the moment
we have to start up, reset the extension (and virtual memory - it causes
some of her games problems too) - then restart. THEN repeat it before we
can use the internet.

So - the questions:

Is there any way of resetting all these things in one easy step - a script
sounds good but the Extensions manager is not scriptable (as, I have
found, are a lot of other programs and controls).

Why does the extensions manager not control all of them? If I turn them
all off and look in the extensions folder it is still full of stuff. Files
like Apple Guide files and so on I can understand but many of them are
real extensions!

Er - that will do for now - any ideas people?

Alastair (I have a degree in computing so dont worry about getting
technical - but this really has me baffled!)
