I read the article about how to speed up my PC at startup, and want to clean some startup items by means of msconfig utility. It says that the process can be dangerous because some items listed in msconfig utility are important. How can I know what is safe to uncheck for startup in msconfig?
I’m afraid not to mess something. Can you help me?

Hi, I am glad to help, but I think that you will need to invest some more effort on yourself. The items listed in startup tab of msconfig utility are sometimes essential for stabile work of some functions of your operating system. And sometimes they are nothing more than unnecessary waste of your system resources. What to keep and what to discard, you have to decide on your own, but you can get significant help by using on line search engines. You can try with built-in Microsoft search functionality and enable it to search on line, which will refer to MSN search. If that doesn’t satisfy you, there are a plenty of other search engines on web that will help you to get right information. And one more important thing is that if you can not get proper information about some particular item, it’s always good idea not to remove it. When you are in doubt about something it is wiser not to change. It is the best way to avoid messing something.
