Wasn't some DOS viruses TSRs? --Error 00:49, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Yes; I've added a statement about that. Tverbeek 16:16, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Is there a modern (2006) equivalent for Windows XP of TSRs? For instance, I have 66-73 processes running when I hit <Alt><Ctrl><Delete> to show what's running. Some of them seem to interfere with orderly shut down and are a general pain in the neck. Aren't they -- like viruses -- a parasitic drain on the PC? Peter10003 11:59, May 30 2006 (UTC)

TSRs were basically a poor-man's multitasking. You can consider any Windows process a "TSR", since it has multi-tasking out of box. 134.54.0.8 12:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
