help! i've got so many programs on start!

[blahxyzblah]

i have about 50 programs running on start and i want to lower it as much as possible. i've already gone to windows, run, msconfig, startup, and deselected the ones i don't want, such as msmessenger, yahoo, quiktime, etc. Also, there are some certain programs like, explorer.exe, which i do not know if i should end the process or not. i was thinking that was internet explorer but i cant be since my internet explorer isnt even running.

Explorer.exe is not Internet explorer.Explorer.exe is the reason why your desktop is there its the one that loads everything.If u terminate it u will loose all open programs and even your desktop.Then you'd have to start it up again thru task manager. go here

All those programs are basically all you. Do you really need them? As far as us helping you, without knowing what they are; all we can probably say is to don't unselect the one's that you need. Helpful ain't it?

Well, if you need help, post a picture of the processes or tell us which process you are unsure of.
