Can you summarize the non-essential items that can be disabled in startup in order to speed up booting?
Thanks!

Check the guide on Vista on tweakguides.comHere there are all drivers listed with a guide on what services a common user should disable. Vista and Windows 7 drivers are the same (98%) so you cannot go wrong using that guide.Other than the services the guide suggest to disable there are some others as superfetch and readyboost that can give you quite a boost depending on what you use the PC for. Usually the most HDDs intensive tasks reside in the indexing, online problems' resolution, defender real-time, superfetch, readboost and so on. Again check the guide on how to correctly configure them to speed the system up.

This should give you better information, but again, a list is nearly impossible to find since there are tens of thousands of programs that can have startup items and not everybody agrees on which items to disable. http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php. Soluto should be able to give good suggestions. I used to have a program that would give suggestions on if a startup item was good, neutral, or bad. I think it was WinPatrol (which many have said is less resource hungry than Soluto), but another simple software can be used as well, Anvi Startup Booster: http://dottech.org/106517/windows-review-anvi-startup-booster/

These suggestions will help you, but do take care when disabling startup items and services. When in doubt, leave it be. Google searching the names of items you do not know can help, but again, be careful.

Although Soluto is not able to remove everything from boot, I just love the application. It recommends you of the different applications (and not really services as far as I know) you can remove from boot time. Although it adds a little time to the boot again for the application itself.I can really recommend, especially if it takes a lot of time before your computer boots.http://www.soluto.com

I would recommend using "Black Viper's" list of services.http://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/black-vipers-windows-7-service-pack-1-service-configurations/Also you should stick with the 'safe' settings unless you are 101% sure you won't need the service.

I did one of his lists to my uncle's machine and it messed it up. Be careful.
