Manage Startup Programs in Windows

With Uninstall Tool you can:

Enable/Disable or Delete any app that starts on Windows startup
Detect invalid entries
See detailed information of each entry (installation folder, publisher, command line, status and source)
Batch operating for selected items (use Ctrl key for selecting multiple programs)
Add a new startup program

Looking through the list of startup apps regularly (and removing unwanted items) is a good practice to optimize your PC startup performance. Additionally you can in time detect various spyware/adware programs that are often secretly installed on your computer.
