Xecutor 1.40.32 build 045

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

In spite of some design flaws, this program successfully performs its main jobs with no trouble. Xecutor allows you to manage which programs automatically launch when you start-up or shut down your machine. Removing a program from start-up or shutdown is a simple matter of unchecking a box, though adding a program can be a bit tougher due to the program's wording. Initially, we thought the field labeled Directory was where you browse your PC to add the EXE file; in actuality, this action is performed under the box called Filename. The help files are pretty bare-bones, so we had to experiment to figure out how to use Xecutor. Additionally, you can use this utility to launch applications at specified times, either daily or on chosen days of the week. The program can display a message to appear before programs execute and also can be used to shut down the PC at a specified time. Savvier users seeking an automation program will be fine with Xecutor, but less-experienced ones should seek out something more user-friendly.
