Hi Mario, I want to be clear here, we are talking about the "startup" tab, which lists programs, and not the "Services" tab, which lists the running services.
Over the years I have found that aside from the items I mentioned in my earlier post, everything else is a matter of preference. In Windows 98 I found that 2 items for my HP scanner had to be checked in order for OpenBook to identify it, but that was only true of the HP, other brands didn't require that. It is not uncommon for any of my systems to have no more than 2 items checked in the startup tab. As far as services go, these will vary from system to system, depending on the user's needs. I have seen as many as 180 services listed in Windows, but rarely are all running, or enabled for that matter. There are resources on the internet for lists of services that can be safely disabled, for each version of Windows. I think black viper.com is one of them.

Typically, the only programs that need to load when Windows boots are your security software, Jaws and in rare occasions, some audio. Anything past that is just robbing your system of resources. A good rule-of-thumb islaunch the software when you are ready to use it, and close it when you are finished.
