I'll bite. I'm killing time, so, I'll help you out.
Caveat Emptor (or something rather) You need to determine for yourself if you need them or not. Some of them are tricky to get rid of, but luckily, there are some pretty good sources out there.

I found almost all of these here http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm and used this as a jumping off point to run them through Google. I think it worked out pretty good all round.

Explorer
This is the desktop

CManger
EnterNet
Ipclient
Ipmon32

All related to your internet connection.

Tgcmd
Here's a link that classifies it as spyware.
http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...tasklist_t.htm
In this case, I'd ask myself did I install it? why? and then uninstall it anyway.

Dssagent
From Brodurbund. Apparently more spyware.
Here's a something about it http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...tasklist_d.htm

cfd
This is an incarnation of bjcfd, which is found here. http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...tasklist_b.htm

Devldr16
More Soundblaster stuff

Poproxy
Norton Anti-virus e-mail protection.

Loadqm
This probably your biggest hog. Loads MSN QueueManager. You'll have to look this up in Google to disable it because some folks have a lot of trouble with it.

Directcd
Adaptec/Roxio stuff. You only need it if your writing CDs. The few sites that I ran across all agree in that you should probably throw it out.

Navapw32
Norton Anti-Virus

Systray
Of course, this is the system tray.

Point32
Your mouse.

Mdm
Machine Debug Manager. Apparently another bugger to disable. I found several methods by running it through Google.

Speedkey
This is Intellitype software. If you use the keyboard shortcuts then you must leave this alone.

Ahqtb
Audio HQ for Soundblaster Live: it's redundant. You can start the same program from the start menu. (That is if you absolutely need it.)
