It's going to take me a while to go over the results. Also, the Startup list looks very strange. 99% of what it shows is bogus. I'll have you run anothre program and collect a Startup list again and see what it shows, but it will have to be tomorrow.

ok, I did all that and very very little improvement. It seems to me that IE opened a bit faster but not much. To your other question I have not updated to IE8. I am still 7.0.5730. But since you asked...is 8 not a good choice? Even though I did not get much improvement with disabling those startups, I still would like to stop those from starting but I can not figure out how to do it and...
