Found this via Google today - it's a VERY complete list of possible background apps that may appear in MSCONFIG's Startup tab, and descriptions of what they are.
I've been building up one of these myself - amazing the crap that's running in the background on some of my clients systems.

Definitly nice. Book markin' that page 
Though, I looked up a couple things I found running in my backaround (CTSvCDA.exe for example) and the page said it wasn't required (which I'm sure is true) but when I tried to end the process (using Win2k) it said it couldn't close the application "access denied" (and I'm logged in as an admin).

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
Patriotism is the first refuge of a moron.
