The best source I have found for what to have start with windows and what is 
not necessary is at:
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php
You can have it show all items, or by letter, or there is a search edit 
field you can type the entry you are interested in finding out about.

Debbie I am running XP pro and there is a lot of stuff in the msconfig list.
What all has to run at start up in XP pro?  I know that there are a few
things that I want to run but there is so much that I don't know what it is
or what programs that it is connected to.

Okay, I want to make sure that people understand this.
MSConfig (from the run men) is used to uncheck the items you don't want to
run at start up.
But even when you do this, the item remains in the MSConfig list.
MSConfig cleanup (the program), is used to remove these left over entries
from the MSConfig list.
Now to your question.  It won't affect your antivirus from loading in any
way unless you purposely uncheck your antivirus application in MSConfig.  I
don't know why you would want to do that though.  The only things that are
affected are the things you uncheck in MSConfig.  And those are the only
items that will show up in the MSConfig cleanup program.

Hello Debbie!

Would there be any problem if I'm going to clear my Ms. Config?

If I'm going to clear my Ms. Config, does my anti virus will not load after
I start my windows and same with the other programs?

  Jerry, do you mean the MSConfig Cleanup program itself?  When I tab I only
  hear the buttons and a listview.  I selected all the text in the virtual
  viewer and I got the following.  I'm not sure what you mean by what the
menu
  entries do.  There is no menu in the progam.

      Hello Debbie.

  I agree with you about all the junk in msconfig. In fact, when Tracy at
  Freedom Scientific and I wer trouble-shooting a problem I was having, I
  was quite surprised to find I could turn off everything I had in there.

  One question, at the top of the window it gives a web address
  purportedly to check what those menu entries do. I copied it with the
  Jaws cursor only to find it was the home page. Am I wrong in how I read
  that?

  Thanks for bringing this one up.
  Jerry

  I know that there are some of you out there who are as obsessive
  compulsive
  as I am, smile, because you have written me about this before.  You can
  delete these entries from your registry.  But I just found a freeware
  program that does it and is jaws friendly.

  MSConfig Cleanup
  MSConfig is a small and helpful tool. It allows you
  disable programs which are starting with Windows.
  Unfortunately you can only disable items but they
  remain in the list. MSConfig Cleanup lets you remove
  the residue!
