MSConfig - Startup Items - Which ones can be Un-Checked

Help Needed - Suggestions on Which Applications Can be Un-Checked
(as listed by: MsConfig.exe application) for Windows - XP Pro


I installed Windows XP Professional on my unit and then ran the
MsConfig.exe file, to check which processes / applications got
loaded at Start-Up. The list is too big and quite difficult to figure
out as to which items are good and which are useless.

I have created a WordPad file, wherein image files of Screens
have been pasted. The two files are


MSConfig (Start-up items), Win 98 Pro, File 1.rtf 5,689,450

MSConfig (Start-up items), Win 98 Pro, File 2.rtf 4,734,281

and then zipped to: ConfigXP.zip 229,526 bytes


Note:

1 The list included installation of Symantec AntiVirus + Norton
Utilities program, which have few enteries in both the tabs.

2 This computer is not connected to internet

3 In Start-Up / Last Tab, item # 2 and 3 are for Mouse software,
Item 4 is for Display Driver, Item 5 & 6 are for Norton Utilities
and Item 7 is by: Roxio Easy CD Creator


The above file can be downloaded from following URL:

I will greatly appreciate, if members can suggest as to which items can
be un-checked (that is stoped from running), for computers which have

A: Have no internet service (that is: the subject Computer)

B: Is to be connected to Internet, using DSL modem

C: Is to be connected to Internet via Network Card, Network Router (that is:
NIC plus LAN) and then to Internet through DSL modem


All Configurations will be for a Single User

Needless to say, I have absolutely no interest in using MSN Network, Windows
Media Player, Automatic Update of O/S, Remote Management of Hard Disk and
User Access Control, Joy Stick, Play Games and and other such applications


Thanks
