brockenspectre,
You are right, that is a lot of junk running there. Before you attack them with MSConfig, go:
Start > Programs > Startup
Delete everything in there. (You might want to just move them to a temp folder just in case.) Chances are if they are in that folder they are not needed for any program to run on your computer. Anything in the Startup Folder will launch when Windows Boots.
Take Care,
