So, here goes a list of the a few best freeware startup managers:
1. Startup Control Panel

This free startup manager installs itself as an applet in the Windows Control Panel, and has good features. You can manage your entire startup list, delete items from startup, and also let applications run only once on the consecutive startup. Download
2. Startup Run

Yet another simple startup manager utility, listing out all the programs that load on startup. You can, as always, edit, enable, disable, delete startup entries. Additionally, you can export the list to a html/text file. Download
3. Scott’s Startup Manager

This one is much straight forward and does just the job. The simple interface lets you add, edit, delete startup programs. Download
4. Startup Manager

Another one, a bit more comprehensive than the above. This tool can be used to edit the Win.ini file that Windows uses to load settings on startup. Recommended for advanced users. Download

I’m a big fan of Autoruns by SysInternals/Microsoft…it is comprehensive (checks win.ini, startup registry keys, startup group, and other places you wouldn’t think of looking) - also can look at startup items for other users.
Like the blog!

I am a big fan of SysInternals too and I use its Process Explorer quite religiously. Thanks for visiting here. Your blogs cool too will have fun reading yours.
Now, that’s a list! I was looking for something like this, coz my startup is just cluttered.
Glad you found it useful. You can clean it up now.
Take a look at WinPatrol. It can prevent programs from autostarting without your permission.
