"Easy to use...very effective"
Version: Startup Inspector for Windows 2.1
Pros
Simple and effective
-
"an fantastic program that keeps startup & registry under control"
Version: Startup Inspector for Windows 2.1
Pros
keeping necessary programs in the startup file and locating all unwanted programs out. The online database is constantly expanding with user input. I love it!
Cons
There is only one small change I would make: When using the rating system I would add "recommended to use at startup". Some programs don't "need" to be in the startup folder, but run much better if ran at the startup of windows.

"Locks up pc and rates everything as 'Unknown' -even common stuff like Adobe"
Version: Startup Inspector for Windows 2.1
Pros
Looked promising.
Cons
Have run it twice, including re-downloading. It lists all items but I hit 'consult' and the software hangs. It's clear on my firewall. Cntrl-Alt Del doesn't end it. Every 'End Now' leaves it up and hung. Will only clear with reboot. I've removed the software. Sorry, it looked perfect at outset. :(

"no b/s easy to use straight to the point"

n/a

"Saw NO value for me, will uninstall."
Version: Startup Inspector for Windows 2.1
Pros
Does appear to list all start-ups.
Gave it two stars only since it appears to do no harm. Might be just my system. Might not work with my other protection maybe?
Cons
That's all it did for me, every item was listed as unknown, no info, even commonly known progs like ad-aware & spybot. If it doesn't recognize them what's the use?
-
"Fairly informative"

It tells you what the purpose of some of the files when you open you Windows task manager and the neccessity of the program.
-
"VERY USEFUL"

Pros
A lot more informative (in some ways) than MSCONFIG.
Cons
Can't identify yet some startup items.
