Startup Star

Startup Star is an app that helps you control the programs that run automatically at startup by creating a list of all the programs that start running during the Windows startup. Each entry on the list corresponds to a separate program.

Startup Star lets you delete the entries that look suspicious, or blocks any that appear in the tray as if by magic. Another interesting feature is the ability to make a backup copy of your startup programs, so you can revert to your preferred list whenever you like.

Startup Star also lets you change the properties of your startup programs: whether it affects all users, or just the current user; whether it launches every time or just once, and so on.
