I had to go through recently and do the same thing, uncheck all the things I didn't need running at start-up. I am totally computer-illiterate, and this website broke everything down and really helped me. It has a list of hundreds of different programs, and tells you whether they are absolutely necessary, the operaters choice, unneeded, etc. I hope this helps,

Take care,
