Introduction to StartStop
Introduction

StartStop is a small utility to help manage those pesky programs that always run when you start up your computer.

Like all TFI Technology products, StartStop:

•	Is small

•	Is easy to use

•	Is great value

TFI Technology specialises in the development of high technology software for everyday use.  Whereas StartStop is fun, our other products are must-have tools:

•	StayAlive

StayAlive is the premier crash protection software for Windows.

Ever had that gut wrenching feeling when a program crashes, taking hours of your work with it?  With StayAlive you can keep programs running when they crash.  This means you can return to the program and save your work.

In tests, StayAlive was the smallest, most effective and easiest to use crash protector.

•	Memory+

Memory+ gives your PC a performance boost at the click of a button.

With Memory+ you can give your favourite programs a boost by locking them into memory and increasing their priority.  You can also put your programs to sleep, freeing their memory for other uses without having to shut them down (useful for applications such as mail programs).

The range of features in Memory+ guarantees that every computer user can now get the most from their computers most precious resource.

Configure StartStop
Configuring Program Start Options

Configuring Program Start Options

When you run StartStop you will see a list of programs that you can control the automatic startup of. There are three startup options for each program.

•	Always – The default behaviour. The program will always be started.

•	Never – The program will not be started when you logon or restart your computer.

•	Ask – You will be asked each time you startup if you want this program to run.

The current state for a program is indicated by the tick, cross and question mark pictures next to the program. You can change the sate either by using the menus or by selecting an entry and pressing space. Once you have configured your preferences just quit StartStop. The options will take effect the next time you restart your machine.


StartStop Options

StartStop has two options to control how and when it runs. These are located under the options menu.

•	Run At Startup

If selected (has a tick by it) StartStop will run each time you start your computer to allow you to configure your settings.

•	Startup Delay

This option configures how long StartStop will wait during startup for you to decide if you want to configure your Startup programs. The default is five seconds.
