There are a number of programs that perform this function, CodeStuff Starter is one of them and offers more functionality. Also one that I use to control what get started is SpyBot. This program does what StartUp does plus a lot more, it will also protect your startup folder by making you aware of what programs are trying to embed themselves into your system and allow you to manage the situation. Look around on this site for other programs that perform this function. This is a simple program but there are more advanced Freeware programs out there.

We understand that Start-Up may lack some of the features other startup managers have, but that is because of two reasons. 1. We designed Start-Up to be a small, simple and portable software 2. Start-Up was launched on the 27th of November, which means that at the time of this posting it is around a week old, but already had 3 versions with new features. In time, we will add even more features, as our users suggest/request them. Thank you for your comments.

Please read the help file and be prepared to take full responsibility for all your actions. Once you disable a program, and unless you want to completely delete it, do not hit the "to easy to hit" CleanUp button. If you do, and mght need it again, you'll have to reinstall the program into your startup folder. Also, the top right middle button "refreshes" your registry and any unsaved changes will be lost. Play it safe and check out other "startup" programs that give you better control of all your startup files.

We have added a "CleanUp" confirmation request, and better registry support. Thank you for using our products.
