How to decide which startup items are necessary (screenshots)

[squirrelgirl518]

I would like to configure the programs on my computer to improve startup performance. I need help determining which programs I need or dont need running upon startup?

IMHO, you can stop all of them except for MSE. -WS

So I shouldn't have any issues or I shouldn't run into any problems if I do that? No safe mode or anything like that?

I do exactly as WindowsStar said... Disable everything but MSE... Shouldn't run into any probs...
