* Why is it good to turn off Mac extensions?
Occasionally, by turning them off and then restarting with them on again makes a cranky computer happy again. Or, when you start up with the extensions on, you can see the extension that the computer gets stuck on. In that case, you would want to start with the extensions off and then turn off that extension and restart with extensions on. If the computer is happy, then you know that that particular extension is causing the problem, and then you should be able to solve the problem with that knowledge in mind.
** When is it necessary to zap the P-RAM?
Zapping the PRAM resets the memory and clears all preferences.
*** What good is rebuilding the desktop?
Rebuilding the desktop updates/cleans up the invisible desktop file that keeps track of which documents belong to which application, and what icons go with what files. If you don't rebuild the desktop after installing new software, you may find problems when you try to double-click on a document's icon, because it will try to launch using the older software on the computer (if its still on the hard drive) instead of the newer, just-installed software.
