..This one seems pretty good, light weight, covers a wide range of
autostart locations, a good competitor to Mikelin's startupmonitor.
The function here Overlaps with bigger apps like PrevX, Winpatrol and
SSM, but by default it covers more registrykeys than these.

# MJ Registry Watcher (745K) is a simple system tray program that
monitors for changes to any of the startup folders and startup registry
keys. If a trojan attempts to change your startup settings, you will be
alerted, and you can prevent any changes being made. It is fully
configurable as to what keys are monitored, so, if you have a vested
interest in protecting your file association for JPEGS, so that your
preferred app loads them, and something else is trying very hard to
undermine this association (Adobe Illustrator for example), this will
popup, offering to stop a new association attempt, after Illustrator had
loaded, say. You run it from the Startup menu, and it is a
self-contained .exe file. Its default set of 30 keys is targeted towards
Windows XP, but it should work with Win9x. It assumes write access and
directory create rights for the path the .exe file sits in (ie. wherever
you installed it). Keys prefixed with an asterix will have new and
deleted subkeys monitored, instead of any values. This is useful for
keeping a check on which services under Windows are being changed. The
default set of keys should ensure that nothing gets run at startup
without you knowing about it. When monitoring, keys are opened in
Read-Only mode, and the application only needs Write Registry access
when it has detected a change. It keeps a log of any suspect activity
(look for a .log file in the installation directory).
