Do you mean programs or just any old background utility?

Programs:

Outlook
Dropbox
iTunes
RivaTuner
uTorrent
Security Essentials
Live Messenger
Skype
Steam
Gadgets

Other crap:

Some nVidia crap
Google Update
SoundMax crap
Quicktime crap
Some Office 2010 crap
CS4 Service Manager crap
Two other Acrobat pieces of crap
Another Office 2010 p.o.s

I used to watch what was loaded at startup, but since I got an SSD I don't really care anymore.

By the way this install is <7 days old. Amazing how much junk some programs will load.

Oh yeah and this all boots to a usable desktop in under 40 seconds (<3 SSDs)

He would like to know what's in other people's startup for the same reason why many of us want to see each other's rigs and/or desktops: Curiosity.

Has it never occured to you that perhaps TehWall is a rookie, and is interested in learning about what is good and what is bad, what is safe and what is not safe to keep in the startups?

Perhaps though TehWall should has rephrased his question to "What do you have in your startups, and why?". In any case, here is mine:

CmiCnfg:
This is just a little configuration utility for my sound card.

axcmd:
An Alcohol 52% utility that mounts the last used virtual drive.

msnmgr:
Windows Live Messenger that I use for live chatting with my buds around the world.

NMBgMonitor:
Nero Home. This one I have disabled.

uTorrent:
A Torrent download client.

sidebar:
Contrary to popular belief, the sidebar in Windows 7 is not gone. It's just not as visible as it was in Vista, and gadgets are displayed on the desktop.

ashDisp:
Avast! Anti-Virus

reader_sl:
Adobe Reader "Speed Launcher". Yeah, right, like saving an extra .25 seconds to open a PDF document is making much of a difference, so I disabled this one.


I have not disabled any services, and am running with the normal set of services that are installed with Windows.

I only have my sound Manager.

Why???? Who cares what's in your start up?

He would like to know what's in other people's startup for the same reason why many of us want to see each other's rigs and/or desktops: Curiosity.

Has it never occured to you that perhaps TehWall is a rookie, and is interested in learning about what is good and what is bad, what is safe and what is not safe to keep in the startups?

Perhaps though TehWall should has rephrased his question to "What do you have in your startups, and why?".
Not a rookie, I actually know a hell of a lot, but yeah, just random curiosity. :p

LOL! Well, it appears that the OP debunked your theory of him being a noob. :) I just think the question is about is useless as me asking what everyone eats for lunch.
