Autoruns by Sysinternals - 6/2/2008 16:44:20
Find those pesky programs that automatically start-up each time you boot your PC. Puts to shame the Microsoft MSCONFIG utility! From Sysinternals (now owned by Microsoft): quote:
This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP. Autoruns' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format. Autoruns works on all versions of Windows including 64-bit versions. Link: Autoruns by Sysinternals Warning: Not for the faint of heart -- this is a very comprehensive tool.

This looked really cool.... then I found out I've already downloaded and installed some time ago. I guess I haven't used it that much. But still cool! Ah, but I'm only at version 8.7, so might as well upgrade.
