Along with the essentials Explorer and Systray, these are the items that show up in my processes menu? What are each of them and what do they do?

You're in the wrong place.

Click Start - Run, type in MSCONFIG, then click OK - "Startup" tab. Everything listed there with a checkmark next to it is automatically loading during startup and running in the background. Other than

ScanRegistry

SystemTray

StateMgr (Windows ME only)

Antivirus program entries

Firewall program entries

very few others, if any, need to load and run. This site will assist you in trimming down the startup list of unnecessary running entries.
