Windows XP StartUP List
Here is a link I definitely thought was worth mentioning. A List of all the start up programs in Windows XP and wheter or not they NEED to run or are dangerous.

If you are like I am and you are always trying to streamline your XP box to get only the services you NEED running in MSCONFIG or want to see if some programs are adware, viruses, trojans, drivers, etc.. this list has some of the most common, whether they are required and what they are. This has to be one of the most excellent resources I have seen.
To check to see what startup programs you have, Click on START then RUN And type MSCONFIG in the RUN box and hit ENTER. You will see a new window come up and the STARTUP tab on the right has all of the programs that start up when your computer boots. Just check these programs against the list and see if that program is needed or not.
