�Ok here goes:
�EXPLORER the Windows 95 shell. (Desktop) You need this 
�running to do ANYTHING. But if you remove it, it usually loads 
�up again all by itself unless there is some kind of error 
�somewhere.
�
�RNAAPP (I think, not 100% certain) is the remote login service, 
�the one you use to access the internet.
�
�ATIICON is the taskbar notification icon for your ATI* graphics 
�card. Depending on your driver and your type of card, you 
�have the option of turning the taskbar icon on or off. You don't 
�need this one unless you change your screen resolution and/or 
�numbers of colours on your monitor a lot. (You can still do that 
�by changing the display properties in control panel: right click 
�on the screen, select properties, then settings)
�
�OSA > Don't know. I don't have it.
�
�REMINDER if I can recall correctly, this should be the 
�scheduling program in MS Plus! or part of the MS Office 
�package. Unless you have set the PC to do certain tasks (like 
�defragmenting, which you can do manually) you don't need
�this one.
�
�RUNDLL the program which controls all "executables" - among 
�other things, graphics. DON'T remove.
�
�ATIKEY32 the hotkey-trapping program for your ATI graphics 
�card. Used to zoom the screen, pan it and other things. See 
�ATIICON. You can remove this.
�
�SYSTRAY. Don't remove this one!!!!!
�
�
�VSHWIN : Not 100% certain, only 95%...(!) If I'm not mistaken, 
�this should be a memory-resident Anti-virus program/monitor 
�which monitors any changes in programs on your computer. 
�Remove it if you want to, but I wouldn't recommend it.
�
�Hope you got any wiser.

�ATI* = based upon an ATI graphics chip. Common cards are 
�ATI Mach 32 and 64, ATI ProTurbo Expression and others.

To expand your knowledge a little more:

MSWHEEL > is for Microsoft Mouse with the navigation wheel instead of the
middle button.

RNAAPP> Is tied into your Microsoft Internet Explorer, NetMeeting,  Internet
Mail and News, Content Advisor, ActiveX, etc.  IOW nothing important. (that was
a joke)

STARTER > is more than likely a task scheduler of some sort

OSA > Don't know. I don't have it either.

Hope this helps.
