1. I am looking for a program that will remove items from the startup
list that are left there after the program is removed.
2. A Program that will shut down running programs in start up list to
preform maintenance tasks. "Clean up, scan disk, Defrag., etc."
No TIA, I will return to Thank You.
I know most people here favor Mike Lin's startup program. I switched to
starter a few years ago which I think has both functions you
requested and works on 9x through xp.
Starter is yet another startup manager for Microsoft Windows
As a primary purpose, Starter allows one to view and manage all the
programs that are starting automatically whenever operating system is
loading. It enumerates all the hidden registry entries, startup folders'
items and some of the initialization files, so that the user could
choose to temporarily disable selected entries, edit them, create new,
or delete them permanently.
Secondary purpose is to list all the running processes with possibility
to view extended process' information (such as used DLLs, memory usage,
thread count, priorities etc.), and to terminate selected process (even
a Windows NT service, having enough access rights).
Starter is a real Freeware and is not crippled in any way among the
similar products. The user interface is pretty simple and has a lot of
options that are self-explanatory.
