LOAD POWER PROFILE

AUGUST4,
I don't believe both entries are neccessary, unless you have multiple users setup on your machine.
Look at this Knowledge Base article:
LoadPowerProfile Starts Twice When You Start Your Computer
------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
When you view the programs that are loaded when you start your computer, you may notice that LoadPowerProfile is listed twice.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because LoadPowerProfile is started twice to provide a power management profile before and after you log on to Windows. LoadPowerProfile starts as a machine service so that the default power management settings are available when Windows 98 starts. It is loaded again after you log on to Windows to process preferences for individual users of the computer.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
To view the programs that are loaded when you start your computer, use any of the following system tools:
Dr. Watson
System Configuration Utility
Microsoft System Information

The power profile stores your settings for power management (monitor off, sleep modes, etc...). Of course, it's only really needed by laptops, but if you choose to disable it, do so through the control panel. You may also need to disable it in the BIOS.
