Startup

The Startup tab allows you to manage system startup items and programs that run automatically upon logging into Windows. These include programs in the Startup menu, Run or RunOnce in the registry and some other system keys.

• This lists all programs that run automatically upon system startup, providing the item name, description, company and path. (You may need to scroll in order to show all details.)
• All items are listed by type. Click the item for more detailed information.
• The items displayed will vary depending upon your system's configuration.
