Answer 1

Use either Ccleaner or Winpatrol to control your startup programs as they use plain English and icons; leave Windows and your security software alone.

If you want to speed up your pc then swap Foxit PDF Reader for Adobe PDF Reader, its only 2 mb (compared to 20mb).

Answer 2

It really depends on what program does and if it performs a critical function. What I recommend you do is go to www.processlibrary.com and look up the files in your start up. That site will tell what program is associated with a particular file and weather or not it should be running. If for some reason a particular file is not on the site don't get frustrated, if all else fails do a google search...

Answer 3

You could uncheck all except the superantispyware cos the rest waste precious time on booting up and not needed to run in the background.

Answer 5

I urge you to exit from Msconfig as you can cause more damage than good if you are unsure of what you can do.
