• power in the details

  baugmoJune 29, 2011

  Pros

  plus good function, convenient power

  Cons

  ungood form

  Summary

  If you're looking for a cutesy program with a big "Easy" button then get, I don't know, something else. This one is all about function. StarteEd Lite sees items other programs overlook, and it's full of little details for people who appreciate that kind of thing. If that's you, try it. Right click an entry in the list, for example. Don't forget to write.

• not what it's made out to be

  Pros

  downloads OK

  Cons

  everything squished together, hard to read. doesn't always warn you on everything: i turned off an app. and had to use system restore to fix it. no warning whatsoever from StartEd Lite that it was important.

  Summary

  there's better startup managers out there.

• Very Good for the Price!

  Randy BellNovember 8, 2009

  Pros

  For a freeware startup manager, this little utility does its job, and does it well. It has similar functionality to the CodeStuff Starter which also is free.

  Cons

  Not much to dislike, other than perhaps the colors chosen for display are a bit 'strong and take some getting used to. But once you get used to it, the considerable amt of helpful info available is amazing!

  Summary

  Automatically and easily control what programs you allow to startup when Windows boots up. Very convenient for troubleshooting and also for installation of large programs {particularly security programs} which prefer a 'clean' environment for successful installs; you can temporarily disable unnecessary items from startup, reboot and then do your installation in an environment without those other startup programs running; then when done, and if the installation {of a new AV, Firewall, or Office Suite, etc} went well and checks out, you can easily re-enable the startup programs you disabled, reboot and you're all set! Did I mention it's completely FREE?
