i know lucial.. i know what i want to keep on when it starts up but there are tones of things in there checked..like the explorer and system tray i believe need to be there but what else?

look, when windows starts up it automaticly loads the critical, wich wont show there. All there are, in a way "optional" yes yes u want ur graphs card to load, but technicly the pc can load without it. Aniways, its up to you what u want to load at first.

thanks
