Please check programs before you recommend them. Thanks

Besides, all those programs listed above are useless, as they DO NOT show all startup programs.

To see ALL startup programs, use Glary Utilities. Then load "Optimize and Improve", then "Startup Manager"

Hello. . .

Out of curiosity, I downloaded, installed and tested the programs mentioned within this thread to see if they were compatible with Vista. I found them to be just that.

Many programs written for the NT 5.x platforms (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003) will in fact run with most if not all functionality under the NT 6.0 platform (Vista/Server 2008).

The most interesting aspect that I find within this thread is that one application dismissed as Vista compatible - Startup Manager - is absolutely identical to the one subsequently recommended for Vista - Quick Startup 2.1, Glary Utilities, a.k.a. "Startup Manager". Take a look:

My favorite application for the management of start-up programs is SysInternals AutoRuns v9.13, by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell. SysInternals is a wholly owned Subsidiary of Microsoft, since 2006. Autoruns can be downloaded free of charge from Microsoft TechNet by clicking HERE.

My Regards to All. . .
