First of all what OS are you running?
Removing items from startup should be done in msconfig,not the reg cleaner.

I'm using windows '98. Did you know that using msconfig to remove the programs running during start up is not strongly reccomended.

I don't know who told you that
but all you are doing in msconfig is unchecking certain programs" from starting up.Your not deleting the programs.
Making for faster start-ups using less resources

There is no trouble caused by disabling startup programs using msconfig. Just like manually edit the registry, you must know what your doing. Some programs are necessary for windows to run but it is easy to see unnecessary startup programs.

To answer your question, the ONLY program actually NEEDED in Windows 98 startup and still have 98 work right should be called systray.exe.

I would suggest Startup CPL, it covers all areas of startup programs including the registry, it is about 48 kb and free!
