Dos anyone know of a site that lists common startup programs (those listed in msconfig's "startup" tab) and describes what each does and whether or not they're really needed?

I'd like to reduce my startup clutter, and I'm unsure whether I need certain startup programs (suuch as "nwiz.exe ").

Thanks.

Hello dkline,

For Apps:

If you don't already know about startup XP services

BTW, nwiz.exe is the nvidia "helper ", can be dispensed with.
