The starter is one of the indispensable tools for every advanced computer user. With it, you will be able to list all the programs that start automatically when you start the operating system. You'll see everything in the hidden Windows Registry settings, start-up folders, and initialization settings files.

The installation process itself is quite common for programs of this type.

The interface of the program will hardly win awards for the best design of the year, but it is perfectly functional and clear.

It's the first-in-line is the "startups" tab. As might be expected based on the name, here you can view all the entries that are within the startup of your Windows system.

The "Processes" tab is similar to the list of processes in the System Task Manager but is enriched with additional items and information, such as detailed memory usage statistics.

And the "Services" tab provides a very detailed overview of all the services that run on your computer. Although it can be very useful in certain situations, the general recommendation is not to change anything in this segment, unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing.

Also, the program supports easy storage, either the entire registry database or its parts, which can be recovered later.

You can download this really functional program of only 600 Kb from the link below.
