Startup Control Panel for Windows

User Reviews

• a Pandora's Box of malware. BEWARE!

  swinefuzz5/4/2013

  Pros

  Didn't find out.

  Cons

  I don't know if Startup Control Panel works or not because I never completed the installation. It insists on installing various other crapware like toolbars (including MixiDJ which shows up in a lot of others freewares here on CNET) and who-knows-what-else is hiding in here, several in fact, with no way to opt out. CANCEL INSTALL.

  Summary

  I love freeware, but not this much. Not even close. Turning and running...<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 4, 2013<p/>Also, I can't help but wonder how this got so many positive reviews by the community. Is all the crapware a recent addition to the program? (4 May 2013)

  marentzen9/26/2011

  Pros

  Easy to undo changes

  Cons

  Doesn't always show everything

  Summary

  I install this for all users. I don't want people messing around with MSConfig.... this is a much safer way to disable startup programs. It's easy to undo your changes if you break something.

• A lot better than running msconfig.

  jcwoos10/23/2010

  Pros

  Nice view of startup programs, easy to turn them on and off. Good that explanations and recommendations are provided.

  Cons

  Seems like it does not pick up all the programs that are starting. If I go to Task Manager and Processes right after starting, I see a lot of programs there that Startup is not giving me options on.

  Summary

  I am happy with what it does.

• Simple, Fast, and Effective.

  copiacart5/11/2010

  Pros

  Very small program that is extremely effective. Sits in the control panel and costs nothing.

  Cons

  None, I have installed this on over 40 computers and it works great.

  Summary

  I have been using this for years and it works very well. Brings up all startup programs and allows manipulation of which ones to keep or delete. It is a small program which sits very conveniently in the control panel. It costs nothing and there are NO ploys to get money out of you. I extremely recommend =.
