Startup Control Panel

Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet that allows you
to easily configure which programs run when your computer starts. It's
simple to use and, like all my programs, is very small and won't burden
your system. A valuable tool for system administrators!
Startup Control Panel is compatible with all modern versions of
Windows, including Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP.

Win95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP
When you start Windows, dozens of programs are already running - many
of them invisible and running in the background. What are these
programs? Why are they running? Are they safe to run, or are any of
them trojans?
Autostart Viewer allows you to see every autostart on your system, all
on the one screen. In addition, it gives you complete control over the
autostart references, and allows you to modify or delete them at will.
