Version: Startup Inspector for Windows 2.09
"Useful for the Inexperienced"
Pros: This is a quick easy-to-use little program which basically shows all the programs that are triggered at your computer's start-up. The advantage of this software is that it shows you the memory usage and can direct you straight to the folder of the programs listed.
Cons: For the more experienced users you could simply type 'msconfig' in the windows run command and click the 'startup' tab for information on the programs that start-up, thought this does not give you information such as memory usage like the program does.
