Reviewed by: CNET staff on October 05, 2009
Quick Startup provides the tools for speeding up a computer by singling out slow-moving startup programs. With a basic setup and impressive results, this program will certainly make a difference.
We were pleased to discover the program's interface was incredibly simple to operate, housing its few commands on a single, intuitive screen. This was a blessing, as the Help file's tutorials were brief and not very useful. Quick Startup listed every program that starts running when we turned our computer on. With each, we were given a simple one-click option for delaying it. The programs were given a simple rating based on how slow they moved and this was our guide for delaying them. Once restarted, we noticed an increase in speed and that the sluggish programs waited a few minutes after startup to begin. The program provided a helpful feature that managed all our scheduled tasks, such as updates and virus scans. We were able to customize this and presumably increase speed ensuring no two ran at the same time. Overall, the program was simple enough for novices to understand, but provided results that all level of user could appreciate.
Quick Startup is a freeware program. With simple controls and immediate results, we highly recommend this program.
Publisher's description
From Glaryutilities :Quick Startup was developed to provide quick access to all of the programs that are automatically started when you turn on or logon to your computer. Such programs consume a good part of your system's resources, and can slow down other programs. Using Quick Startup, you can inspect, edit, and/or temporary disable such programs. Version 2.7.0.686 is a bug fixing release.

Version: Quick Startup 2.8.0.718
"Great Product but forces ASK.com Toolbar on you"
Pros: The nicest, most interactive and usefull startup tool I've seen thus far. I love this program and have been using it for about 2 years now and still have not found anything better.
Cons: This new version 2.8.0.718 they now "Force" you to accept their terms along with a ASK.com Toolbar in order to get the software. I know it's a way for Glary to get paid and better than paying cash, but still feels wrong.
Summary: Obviously I wish having a third party software installed on my system was still an option for software that is listed as freeware and not shareware.
