Short description
Starter is yet another startup manager.
As a primary purpose, Starter allows one to view and manage all the programs that are starting automatically whenever operating system is loading. It enumerates all the hidden registry entries, startup folders' items and some of the initialization files, so that the user could choose to temporarily disable selected entries, edit them, create new, or delete them permanently. Secondary purpose is to list all the running processes with possibility to view extended process' information (such as used DLLs, memory usage, thread count, priorities etc.), and to terminate selected process (even a Windows NT service, having enough access rights). Starter is a real Freeware and is not crippled in any way among the similar products. The user interface is pretty simple and has lots of options that are self-explanatory. System requirements
Microsoft Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP. Tested on Windows .NET.
There are no specific requirements except this one: registry operations on a Windows NT based operating system may require special access rights. As a rule, members of "Administrators" and "Power Users" groups are have nothing to worry about. Deeper underground
Currently supported startup places:
Registry\Current User: Run, RunOnce, Scripts (logon and logoff), Policies Registry\All Users: Run, RunOnce, RunOnceEx, RunServices, RunServicesOnce, Scripts (logon and logoff), Policies, ShellServiceObjects (Windows shell services, e.g. WebCheck, CDBurn, SysTray) Registry\All Users: Winlogon values - Userinit, Shell, VmApplet, System Registry\Default User: Run, RunOnce Current User Startup folder All Users Common Startup folder All Users Alternative Common Startup folder Win.ini: [Windows].Run, [Windows].Load
Microsoft MSConfig compatible (Excluding Windows XP's MSConfig at the moment, sorry).
ToDo list. Major items. Not sorted in any order :)
