Autoruns

Do you have a bunch of programs trying to launch at the Windows Startup? Does it seem to take Windows forever to boot? In that case, try Autoruns. This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them.
