Introduction
Many applications start automatically together with Windows without asking for your permission. There is often a good reason for this, for example to provide you with important functions and services such as your virus scanner, an ISDN call monitor or a text module administration system.
In addition to these sensible applications, there are often also useless or even dangerous applications that also start together with your system. Newly installed programs sometimes add themselves to the Startup folder without asking for your permission, causing Windows to start more slowly. And what's worse, some of these programs even bother you with messages and dialogs.
Many users know that programs that are started automatically often simply add a shortcut to the Startup folder in the Start menu, and that these shortcuts can be deleted there. But that's only half of the story. Some start commands are added directly to the registry, and cannot be found in the Startup folder. TuneUp StartUp Manager finds every application that launches itself automatically, no matter where they hide their start commands.
