I haven't used that feature in Spybot very much, but I always assumed that it duplicated the msconfig function.

It should be easy enough to check by using Spybot to prevent some inessential process from starting and then seeing if it runs after a reboot.

There are several sites that provide advice about items that aren't needed, including these; http://www.greatis.com/appdata/ and ;http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php
