I only have 5 things running, and could probably turn off the qttask. qttask is quick time.
When entering the msconfig folder to disable starup items (start > run > msconfig), it isn't necessary to individually disable items in the starup folder. To maximize your system resources, go to the General tab and simply uncheck "Load startup group items". Of Course, the other two items (system.ini & win.ini) MUST remain checked. Then click Apply, and let your pc reboot.
Once you have done this you can go back and look at the startup folder to note which ones are the ones needed to run the computer.
I leave qttask running because of all the videos that use that type of file. When you go to watch a quick time video, or listen to a audio file, and have this disabled it will ask you if it can download the missing files. That will just turn it back on in the startup folder
