Can someone point me to the links that explain the meaning of all the
possible listings in the "Startup" tab in msconfig and which are not
safe to disable?
Thanks,
brody

Any software can launch programs from there. There is no list of all
available software either.

Basically, you can disable all these entries. However, the first
approach is to disable the automatic startup in the program's options.
Otherwise, these entries may reappear soon.

msconfig is a tweaking utility. One can safely disable any items in
msconfig.

Balderdash. Hogwash. Malarkey.

Antivirus, Antispyware, and Firewall software can all have entries in
the Startup tab of MSCONFIG and disabling or reducing the
functionality of these items cannot be considered as a "safe" thing to
do, especially for inexperienced users.
