On "msconfig" there are a whole bunch of things loading that I have no idea
what they are, under the "systems" tab. Under the "startup" tab are things
that I recognize and want.

Some seem to be needed. I de-activated the whole bunch and it frowned on
re-booting but a second boot brought it up and I just re-activated the whole
bunch like Billy Gates seems to want us to do. :-(

Each page of them are 10 lines and there are 8 or 10 pages of them. Surely
they are not all needed on boot especially when the program will call them
*if* needed later.

2.2g, 512m, 60hd, xp-pro, all those good things.

Now for the toughie.......
Is there a program that will go in and read *your* setup and point out the
un-needed boot ones and give you the option of removing them from the
"system" startup file?

Well let's assume you're running XP because of the sheer volume of the
system services that are run by default.

suggest you go HERE:

to determine which of these may be safely shut off.
