How do get rid of all the unwanted tasks your computer performs when is initiating?
Q. I know that when your system is initiating there is a way to modify which programs should start and which no, I do not remember if that info is in WIN.INI or in System.INI or in the Autoexec.INI, I know that the answer is very simple and with that you can make your system work faster and clean your memory from unnnecesary and unwanted tasks, thanks!!

A. 1. DO NOT go into Win.ini 2. DO NOT go into System.ini 3. DO NOT go into Autoexec.ini If you want to remove some of the startup items, clicck Start, Run, type msconfig, and pick only the Startup tab on the far right. BE SURE you know what you are stopping, and only do one at a time. You can shock the system badly enough that it won't start if you remove too many things at once. How do know that? Been there - done that - learned the hard way. One at a time. Work your way through those items that don't actually have to start EVERY time your computer does.

Do positive or negative incentives affect our ability to perform simple tasks in a certain time limit?
Q. Will positive(ie for example giving someone a candy bar) or negative incentives, (i.e. telling the subjects that the results will be put on display and that the average number of completed anagrams in 5 minutes by 7 year olds is 13) to perform tasks enhance our performance under a certain time limit?

A. In general positive reinforcement is more motivating than negative. Make the rewards emotional rather than material e.g. praise of some kind (e.g. certificate, trophy etc) rather than money.

A. As this is a senior role, you would expect some level of budget management or control, both for projects and resource. Further to this, the role may involve cost analysis across the department or project, both current and forecast.
