well task killers dont even work right in 2.2 anymore the apps always restart anyway so it is basically useless anyway

Short answer: it won't help at all and could potentially cause issues.

They usually start up because they are shared uses with other programs, thats why task killers are no good, most people are shutting stuff down that are being used in other processes... Better to just let android close them down when its needed. its designed to work that way not designed to work like windows or blackberry so why treat it as if it was.

Looks like you have your answer and we already have enough of these threads around so I'm closing this one.

Thanks,
