>>I need the site [it was posted here once], that shows what programs are and are not needed when you start up your computer

This might help.

TASK LIST PROGRAMS
(including WinNT4/2000/XP/2003 Services)

Through our support service we often come across problems caused primarily by programs running in the background, programs which in most cases start at the same time as Windows. Sometimes these programs are useful and need to be there; quite often, however, they are not needed, and in too many cases they cause severe problems, and this includes some Microsoft "Services" !

The pages below are from our in-house database and provide guidance on the usefulness or not of these programs and services, and removal procedures when recommended.

In Windows 95/98/ME you can bring up the Task List by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. In Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003 you bring up the Task List by right-clicking on the Task Bar and choosing "Task Manager".
