StartUp Organizer 2.8 SR3

StartUp Organizer 2.8 SR3 is an excellent and extremely easy to use, Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista compatible program that was developed to provide quick access to all of the programs that are automatically started when you turn on or logon to your computer.

Using Startup Organizer, you can inspect, edit, print and/or temporarily disable such programs and make backup configurations. You may significantly reduce the time required for your system startup by disabling programs that you don't need all the time

The Controlled Startup feature allows you to skip certain programs during startup if you hold the [Shift] key while Windows is logging on. 

The new version allows you to choose the key for the Controlled Startup feature. It is also possible now to prompt for a confirmation of whether to start all or each program in the Controlled Startup. StartUp Guard detects non-standard ways to run applications when Windows starts and issues recommendations when it encounters suspicious programs.

Users of Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 can benefit from the new ability to work with other users startup configurations. StartUp Organizer displays other users among your standard Registry, Controlled Startup and Start menu items. You can view programs of other users, edit them, add new ones and drag programs to them. You can even add programs to multiple users with just a few clicks! You can also define the order in which to run your programs and even set a delay when running them consecutively.
