System Configuration Utility

Just a quick question to ask if any1 knows what these actually do? I had a look my startup file to see what actually runs when the computer is turned on, but im unsure on what a few of them actually do and if i really need them.

If any1 knows what any of the following do, please tell !!!

sistray - C:\WINDOWS\System32\sistray.exe

khooker - C:\WINDOWS\System32\khooker.exe

pctspk - pctspk.exe

status - C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Connection Wizard\status.exe

tfswctrl - C:\WINDOWS\System32\dla\tfswctrl.exe

WinsysRsr - C:\Program Files\Wsr\WinsysRsr.exe

bpinstall - C:\Windows\bpinstall.exe /s

sistray could be the Prova Trojan. -> http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99623.htm

SiS Keyboard Daemon. System Tray utility which gets installed by the drivers of the latter day SiS VGA cards. The utility itself is not of much use in our opinion and may occasionally be contributing to Windows startup problems, although we have not been able to establish this for certain.

Background task for Hewlett-Packard’s DLA software (Drive Letter Assignment). HP’s DLA gets installed when you installed the software that comes with their CD/DVD Writers. HP’s DLA is packet writing software which enables you to store data onto CD’s directly from within Windows applications, without using the actual CD Writing software (much like Roxio’s DirectCD.

You can find almost any** startup item in the list here .

Each item has a link to what the program is used for.

I have found a couple that are not in there though...
