Background Services

Under the "services" tab in msconfig, I have a TON of programs running. The scrollbar is about a centimeter long! There is a box at the bottom that haides all microsoft services, and doing that makes the scrollbar about half the length of the window. Needless to say Microsoft Services take up a large portion of the services.

Which ones are necessary/optional/not needed? Because these "services" are taking up a load of space!
