Free windows startup programs software for windows

Scotts Windows Startup Program manager is a utility designed to let you manage the programs that automatically start when your Windows PC boots up. These programs are generally stored in the windows registry, and are difficult to edit, unless you are familiar with how the windows registry works. This software is designed to be a much easier interface to let you add, remove, and edit items from the startup list. This program is free for non-commercial use, and has no expirations, time limits, disabled features, adware, spyware, or any other junk that will keep you from using it. So why do you need to edit the windows startup programs? Well, there are several reasons. The first is that some program you installed put something annoying in there that you dont want. For example, maybe your digital camera installs a "helpful tool" that automatically pops up every time you boot and asks you if you want to update your software to the latest version. A second situation is that maybe youve been the victim of an adware or spyware attack. The adware programs often place themselves in the windows startup settings so that their adware program gets loaded each time. So you go in, find something that doesnt belong, and nuke it. Finally, theres one other situation I can think of where you might find this software useful -- lets say you actually *want* something loaded at startup (maybe a tool you find useful...), then you can use this software to add the thing you want to the list. You *could* do all of this with a registry editor like regedit, but using this tool is so much easier! ... and its *free*

Delayed Startup & Program Manager is a useful program that allows you to delay, or stop programs from running at a users login to Windows. Some of these programs arent needed, or just arent ever used by you. So you can speed up startup a bit by stopping them.
You can also run the stopped programs from the programs icon in the system tray. And, in std+ and pro editions, create your own program groups with programs to run from there also (in batches).
By delaying their startup, you can, sometimes, actually be able to use the computer sooner after a login. Please know however, that some programs MUST be loaded at startup and cant be delayed - likewise other items on the computer might not startup properly if they were.
As a general rule, if you can disable the program from running without any real effort (i.e. the program has a "dont load at startup" option) it can normally be safely delayed.
