Is there a good site that explains about the items found in Startup, and
which are the necessary ones and which are not.
TIA

For an Introduction on how to identify and disable start-up programs from
running see:

Startups - Contents
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php

Deep in the aforementioned Web Page is the following link to a
comprehensive list of programs that are loaded at start-up and includes
a Description of the program. In some cases there is a recommendation
on what to do about the program. The Web Page includes a "search" feature:

Sysinfo_org
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php

The following Web Page also has a comprehensive list and includes
a Description of the program. And in all cases (AFAICT) there is a
Recommendation on what you can do about the program. The Web
Page does not have a search feature, instead it is designed where you
click a button to list all startup programs that begin with that letter
of the alphabet:
