This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of
auto-starting locations of any startup monitor (A starting list of
auto-run locations was obtained from David Solomon's "Windows Internals"
seminar), shows you what programs are configured to run during system
bootup or login

This small GUI (Graphical User Interface) utility will check the Start
Menu and the System Registry for items that load at startup. It will
also check for Disabled Startup items and changes to the default "Shell"
value. Support for listing all running Processes and Services has been
added.
