TuneUp StartUp Manager

Many applications start automatically together with Windows without asking for

your permission. There is often a good reason for this, for example to provide

you with important functions and services such as your virus scanner, an ISDN

call monitor or a text module administration system.

In addition to these sensible applications, there are often also useless or even

dangerous applications that also start together with your system. Newly installed

programs sometimes add themselves to the Startup folder without asking for

your permission, causing Windows to start more slowly. And what's

worse, some of these programs even bother you with messages and dialogs or

advertising.

Many users know that programs that are started automatically often simply add a

shortcut to the Startup folder in the Start menu, and that these shortcuts can be

deleted there. But that's only half of the story. Some start commands are

added directly to the registry, and cannot be found in the Startup folder. TuneUp

StartUp Manager finds every application that launches itself automatically, no

matter where the start command is hidden.
