Winpatrol looks good, in fact looks better than most other "catchers".

But how many of those programs can be disabled and which ones will cause problems if stopped?

Don't confuse 'services' with 'programs.'  Most computers have a ton of services load at boot, many of which are not always necessary.  You can easily find a site that suggests which are  with a google search.  Bear in mind that each O/S is slightly different.
