I am running Windows Me and want to know what these items are and what their function is. They all start up at boot. Are they necessary to keep at startup? I mean, can I uncheck them in msconfig in the startup directory? If this helps, I have disabled system restore in the system/troubleshooting directory, as I don't want it running.:

Bwdelay
delay (or "delayrun.exe")
hpsysdrv
MMTray
PCHealth
*StateMgr
hpfsched
SSDPSRV
USBMMKBD
LoadPowerProfile
TaskMonitor

By the way, this is my first post. I love this forum. There seems to be so many people that know a whole lot about computers here. So, forgive me if my question is an easy one.
