   They came from the System Tools disk when you installed the system
software on your drive.
   Backgrounder is necessary if you're using MultiFinder and spooling
documents to a LaserWriter with Print Monitor (which is also part of
the system software).
   Finder Startup is a document used by the system to determine whether
you wish to boot with MultiFinder active, and whether you want any
applications or DAs opened on startup.
