Disabling those programs is not ‘deleting’ them, you’re just shutting them off. It’s easy to go back in and turn them back on if you’re having a problem and need 'em back. What I do if I can’t tell a program/whatever from simply looking at the file name is plunk it into Google. I can usually get a good idea what it is used for from there.
THIS IS NOT TRUE!!! I’m using Internet Explorer, and when I type in something like “rundll”, it just brings up a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error message.
