August 20, 200718 yr If you have Spybot, one of the features is a registry monitor. I highly recommend it. For programs already in the registry, go to Start -> Run and type in 'REGEDIT'. You can play with it from there.

Any update checkers, like for Java. Any sort of pre-start, like QuickTime, Real, Microsoft Office and Adobe Reader.
August 21, 200718 yr Author would it be a bad thing to disable them all and then just add the ones i want? or is there something in particular that i should keep running? thanks again
