Publisher's Description: |
WhatInStartup doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply copy the executable file (WhatInStartup.exe) info any folder you like, and run it.
After running it, the main window of WhatInStartup displays the list of all programs that are loaded at Windows startup. You can select one or more items, and then disable them (F7), enable them back after previously disabled (F8), delete them (Ctrl+Delete), or save them into text/csv/html/xml file (Ctrl+S).
Permanent Disabling
Permanent Disabling is a special feature of WhatInStartup that allows you to Permanently enforce the disabling of programs in Windows startup.
Many programs add themselves into the Windows startup list without even asking you, and even if you disable or delete them, these programs add themselves again in the next time that you use them. While WhatInStartup is running, it monitors the startup lists in the Registry and in the file system. If a disabled program added itself again into the list, WhatInStartup detect the change and automatically disable it again. This means that as long as WhatInStartup is running, the programs that you disabled won't return back to Windows startup.
If you don't want that WhatInStartup will run in the background, you can use the /pdisable command-line option: When you run WhatInStartup.exe with /pdisable parameter, it'll check all startup items that you previously disabled, and if it finds previously disabled items that are now enabled, it'll automatically disable them again for you, without displaying any user interface.
Using WhatInStartup On External Drive
If you have an operating system with booting problems, you can use WhatInStartup to disable/delete unwanted startup programs on another instance of Windows. In order to use this feature, go to Options->Advanced Options, choose the "Load the startup items from external instance of Windows" option and type the right Windows directory and profiles folder.
If you want to connect the external drive from command-line, you can use the /external command-line option.
