Startup Organizer is a Windows
95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista program that was developed to provide
quick access to all of the programs that are automatically started when
you turn on or logon to your computer. Using Startup Organizer, you can
inspect, edit, print and/or temporarily disable such programs and make
backup configurations. You may significantly reduce the time required
for your system startup by disabling programs that you don`t need all
the time.
With RunOnceEx, Services and AutoRunDLL technology support, StartUp
Organizer provides you with the most complete control on all methods to
start programs automatically.
The Controlled Startup feature allows you to skip certain programs
during startup if you hold the [Shift] key while Windows is logging on.
The new version allows you to choose the key for the Controlled Startup
feature. It is also possible now to prompt for a confirmation of
whether to start all or each program in the Controlled Startup.
StartUp Guard detects non-standard ways to run applications when
Windows starts and issues recommendations when it encounters suspicious
programs.
Users of Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 can benefit from the
new ability to work with other users startup configurations. StartUp
Organizer displays other users among your standard Registry, Controlled
Startup and Start menu items. You can view programs of other users,
edit them, add new ones and drag programs to them.
You can even add programs to multiple users with just a few clicks!
You can also define the order in which to run your programs and even set a delay when running them consecutively.

This unique feature looks for other non-standard ways to run programs
while system starts. It shows potentially dangerous places and offers
an automatic way to fix issues.

on the programs list. You can safely do what you want and revert to the
previous state when necessary.

done something wrong or if you need to switch configurations quickly.
StartUp Organizer also can compare backup file with the current configuration.

click on some control to scroll it using mouse wheel. Simply point your
mouse over the control you want to scroll up or down and use the wheel!

otherwise Windows will not allow you to access the other users list.
