I wouldnt go by that rule either. A lot of times, when you install programs, they install small sub-programs or whatever you wanna call it. I just look at that list, google shit that I dont know, and decide from there. They usually dont cause any problems unless they are starting up all the time. So a good thing to do is to check your " Start-Run-msconfig-startup" junk also.
