To make my PC's enviornment a little friendlier, I have ended up installing
several memory resident programs (CED, Sidekick, etc) to do some of the things
DOS should/might/ought to do.  A little here and a little there and all of a
sudden I am using an additional 90K for this stuff.  

This only presents a problem to me when I am trying to run a very very memory
hungry program (like SPSS/PC+).  I have temporarily solved the problem by
fixing my autoexec.bat file so that I can jump out before these memory
resident routines are brought in, but there has to be a better way.

I'd like to setup some sort of batch file that deletes these memory resident
pigs without forcing me to do the three fingered salute. 

I'm sure someone else out there must have delt with this problem.  What do you
do?  How do you do a software generated warm boot?

Thanks much for any and all help.  If interest warrants I will summarize and
post any/all replys.
