[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1818670, member: 110816"] Whatever is needed to operate the OS is not going to be in the list there. These are all unique to your account and the applications you have installed. You can remove them all and if you don't need the support they deliver. For example, get rid of GrowlHelper and not all of your notifications will go to Growl. Looks like you've uninstalled Alfred but the startup link is present (but not working since it can't find the application). [ATTACH=FULL]29687[/ATTACH] This is the list of apps that I have on my MBP. Only iTunesHelper came by default for me, the others are things I've installed and allow to run. If there is an app that you ALWAYS startup on your machine it makes sense to have it in this list. Otherwise, it's best to keep the list to an absolute minimum to have a speedy startup. [/QUOTE]
