Background Programs - What really needs to be running?

I have found that since installing Yahoo DSL, I tend to be running low on system resources a lot and can't multitask as much as I could before.

My computer is a Dell, P3 1GHz, 512 MB RAM. Windows ME

Here is what is running in the background when I CTL+ALT+DEL.

Explorer
CManger
EnterNet
Ipclient
Ipmon32
Cc
Tgcmd
Dssagent
Cfd
Devldr16
Poproxy
Loadqm
Directcd
Navapw32
Systray
Point32
Mdm
Speedkey
Ahqtb
Loader

Seems like a ton of stuff. I know the first several are DSL programs. But when I start up, with no active program running, my system resources are already down to less than 50%. What can I get rid of? Or what can I do to improve the efficiency of my machine?
