Hi,

Best regards !

Thanks for the information Murphy. I have always used the System Configuration Tool in Windows for this purpose, but started using Autoruns when I saw a post about it here on the forum.

Thank you for the interesting read Murphy. I like Autoruns myself.

Thanks, for a quick check of the app's startup i use ccleaner, for a detailed view.. autoruns and/or anvir task manager.
I use the kingsoft "pc doctor", and it gives me the startup time, yesterday was the first time i used delay within the "doctor", and it's ok(only app's).

I have read that article and I think Ciprian forgot Winpatrol.
Unfortunately Startup Lite is no longer developed, still very good for XP and Vista users

MSConfig or WinPatrol, hands down, imo.

My choice goes pretty much like Autoruns and CCleaner

Making a one-size-fits-all recommendation is impossible for this niche of programs. They are very diverse in the way they manage startup items, the functionality they offer and the needs they meet.

Therefore, I would like to split my recommendation based on the needs most people are likely to have:

Are you a knowledgeable Windows user? Do you need a complete view of all startup aspects? - Autoruns for Windows is the only tool that will satisfy your needs.

Are you a knowledgeable Windows user? Are you interested mostly in setting up advanced launch rules for delaying and waiting for startup programs? - Startup Delayer is the answer for you.

Do you need quick, basic editing of your startup items? - You don’t need to download anything. Simply use the System Configuration tool in Windows. Here’s how: How To Use the System Configuration Tool & All its Awesomeness!

You consider yourself a less technical user? Do you need advice you can trust when managing your startup items? - Then Soluto is your only real choice.

Finally an article that does not make "a one-size-fits-all recommendation". It's hard to see such nowadays. I pretty much agree with the recommendations except I'd go with the CCleaner route instead of MSConfig because you get to really 'delete' an entry instead of just 'disabling' it.
