Pros
divides programs up by user
Cons
can't think of anything wrong with it
Summary
By far and away, the best startup manager I've found
jimignatowskiDecember 8, 2010
Pros
The best features are the Controlled Startup function along with the ability to set the initial program execution priority. The online support is also excellent
Cons
Nothing that I can think of
Summary
There are dozens of startup manager type utilities that allow you to view, add or remove items from your Windows startup lists. What makes Startup Organizer unique, and well worth the price, is the Controlled Startup feature along with the ability to set the initial execution priority for controlled, i.e., delayed startup programs. By moving autostarted programs under Controlled Startup, you can control when each program starts, thus insuring that your most important programs will start first. This dramatically reduces the usual bootup time overload. Moreover, setting the execution priorities allows you to insure that your most critical programs always get top priority. Overall, a first rate product Very responsive support is also provided with the product. Be sure to check the company web site for the latest versions. At least 2.9.313 is recommended
Have used for 4 years - great!

Pros
Saves profiles of Start up Programs - great for gaming.
Cons
None noted
Summary
Very easy to use software.
JamesEnnessSeptember 29, 2009
Pros
Shows you strait away what's in your start up list. To stop unwanted items starting up simply remove the tick from the check box. If you change your mind you can re-check it later - nothing lost.
Cons
No cons found - used it many times over years.
Summary
It can be very annoying to try out some software then to find it starts up every time you turn on the computer. This product can solve this problem, is simple to use, and reversable if you change your mind.

Using Startup Organizer, you can inspect, edit, and/or temporary disable such programs, and make backup configurations. You may significantly reduce the time required for your system startup disabling programs which you don't need all the time. Controlled Startup feature allows you to skip certain programs from startup if you hold [Shift] key pressed while Windows is logging on. StartUp Guard detects non-standard ways to run applications when Windows starts and issues recommendations when it encounters suspicious programs. Another exciting feature is ability to work with other users startup configurations under Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008. You can view programs of other users, edit them, add new ones and drag programs to them. You can even add programs to multiple users with just a few clicks! You can also define the order in which to run your programs and even set a delay when running them consecutively.
