Version: Startup Control Panel 2.6
"Take Control of Your Startup!"
Pros: This tiny application (which you'll find in Start > Settings > Control Panel > Startup) will help you take control of what programs open at startup. The interface is easy to understand...just click or unclick an item to start it. The names of the items are clear and the path helps identify which program is running it. Be careful: some applications (QuickTime comes to mind) will reset themselves to start at startup EVERY time you run them. You'll have to catch these before you shut down if you don't want them coming up again. This application is installed on ALL my computers!
Cons: Try to keep a program from starting up by checking within the program FIRST for something like "Start with Windows." Some programs will reinstall themselves over and over in Startup Control Panel if you don't.
