Windows Startup Editor

[imported_KuJaX]

I am aware that there are a million freeware windows startup editors, but was curious what one(s) you have experience with and your comments.

Simply an application that will look throughout all locations for programs that startup when you log into Windows for the first time after a shutdown/reboot.

What's Running is pretty complete.

I always liked, go to run, then type in msconfig, hit enter

it is like msconfig, but much better.

Windows Defender. You can do other things too like look at things running now, things connected to the network and even scan for malware or spyware and such.

Startup Control Panel at http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml . It's available as a stand alone .exe or as a Control panel applet. It shows several registry areas and the startup folder and provides a check box to toggle any of them.

This is very useful for troubleshooting/ repairing malware infected machines or looking for performance robbing startups.
