[Solved] Slow Startup in XP

[joddle]

I am running a couple of Dell 755s and one of them is starting to get quite slow to start up. I have quite a bit of software installed but recently had a clear out and uninstalled programmes I am not using anymore but its still takes an age to get from the log in to the system ready stage with apparently loads of things loading.

 

I have looked at the start up list but am not sure which things could be deleted from the start up process - anyone know what things in this list can safely be stopped/deleted?

Many thanks - now much faster and as far as I can see so far no unexpected problems.
