Control Programs on startup
Sunday, May 23, 2004 by Daboo911 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm looking for a program that controls what loads on startup.
I saw one not long ago, but now I cannot find it, if anyone knows of such a program, please point me in the right direction, thanks.

If you use the freeware program Spybot-Search & Destroy, it has a very good tool built in for managing your Startup, much better than MSCONFIG, in my opinion. You can find it by running Spybot in advanced mode, in the tools section. It will not only allow you to see whats in your startup configuration, it will even give you a description of what most of the items are and what the effects will be of removing the items. It allows you to Selectively disable items at startup or completely delete them if you know for sure you don't need them. And it doesn't give you that annoying XP nag screen that will pop up after using MSCONFIG.
