PC Magazine Utility - Startup Cop - When Microsoft Windows starts up, before you've launched your first application, there are already quite a few programs running--as many as several dozen! Where do they all come from? You're probably familiar with the StartUp menu, which is under Programs in the Start menu. Any shortcut in the StartUp menu will be launched automatically when Windows starts. Windows also looks in six other locations for programs to be launched at start-up. In case a start-up program from anywhere on your system causes trouble, you can use Startup Cop to disable it temporarily. You can save a list of programs to be disabled or enabled as a "profile", and save these profiles as desktop shortcuts that can optionally restart Windows. 3:50:07 PM
