Can I delete daemon tools after I mount an image?

TweakUi works great for hiding the drive.
Do you know if Daemon Tools uses any system resourses. I wish there was a way to permantly mount the mini-backup image so D-tools wouldn't have to be running in the background of WinXP. I hate having extra stuff running.

Does the image work with Alcohol? Alcohol loads as a driver without a system tray icon.

Hey whoeverxxx,

Why wouldn't Daemon Tools using some system resources? But, on the other hand, why wouldn't _any_ other software, that mounts a floppy/hard disk/CD/DVD image, use some system resources?

After all, when you access your hard disks, you access them via software, which is an integral part of the operating system. When you access the mounted CD/DVD's, you access them again via software, which is a third-party program but still bonded quite closely to the OS as it does low-level stuff.

But what's the difference between the two? It's that one is by M$ and the other is by someone else. And, I guess, you're better off with using third-party softwares than some M$ junk built into the OS!

some people think taskbar icons are an indication of running software..
as opposed to the process list in the task manager..
