    Only troublle with doing what metalX suggested is it will in all probability stop your firewall/antivirus softwtare etc from running as well as possible your video drivers etc. Not really a good idea.

    as per the advice given, you can do so, provided you know what ones to leave enabled to keep yourself secure and working.

    its best to google each process name and find out what they do before taking them off the list. Otherwise, go and download an app that can make that easier for you like Mike Lin Startup Editor or similar.
