Larry,
In order to verify which programs you don't need, you might consider searching for their names on http://www.google.com/.
In addition, the site below should give you some start up program names that can safely be removed. These are the names of the actual program executable that loads at start up in "msconfig":

If you're concerned about any specific ones, list them here and we might be able to help.
Hope this helps.

I have Windows XP home SP1, OE6&IE6 and would like to remove some of the high MB programs. I am not sure which ones I can safely remove that don't need to be on programs, that will not affect the operation of my PC. I don't know what some of them are. Is there any place on the web that can help me with this or can anyone tell me what I can safely remove, also I don't play the games, don't visit porn sites, don't download music, mostly it's used for e-mail, paying bills,looking up information and sending and receiving pictures of my Grandchildren.
I have 22.9GB of free disk. I am also thinking very hard about going to Mozilla as an alternative to IE6.
