[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1049241, member: 176704"] I know which main apps/programmes I do/don't to run at start up - but, at least in my case(s), many of the Services and Startup entries have rather "cryptographic" names and it's difficult to understand whether they are necessary or not. Also (and I'm looking at the current lists at the moment) quite a number of Services are running in the background even though the "tick box" isn't "ticked" (this is on W7 Ultimate 64 bit)! Many entries can be disabled by editing "Services.msc", but then (as I found by accident a few weeks ago) disabling some of them can have very weird and unexpected effects! A lot of the msconfig entries can only really be removed if I hack the Registry to remove all references to them! [/QUOTE]
