    They are things that run when your computer starts up. If you don't want them to run, go

    start > run
    type msconfig, press OK/enter
    go to the startup tab and uncheck the things you don't want to autorun on startup
    (you can probably do without most things that are checked/ticked, as you could run them from the programs menu if you wanted to use them)

    then restart.

    the computer will start and run faster without lots of redundant programs running

    Yes, you'll just need to take an educated guess. Try things that look like the manufacturer's name/brand. Are you sure that the wireless monitor isn't an integral part of the wireless connectivity application?

    Translation: are you sure if you disable the wireless monitor, you'll still be able to use your wireless internet?

    i.e if you turn off the wireless monitor, it is possible that you also turn off the wireless connection to your router and so won't be able to connect to the internet (without manually starting the software for the wireless LAN)
