Applications or processes? Many processes must run for
Windows to run and there may be many background processes
for your applications to be ready to run. For instance, you
might have a firewall running as a process or the CD-RW UDF
process so you can just put a CD in the drive and read it
w/o having to start a program manually.

If you have 28 applications running at startup, you have
been the victim of bad installations that placed the
shortcut in your startup folder. You can clear those as you
want.
