Starter is a startup manager. It allows you to view, manage and tweak all the programs that startup automatically each time you switch on your PC.

Not one for the complete novice, we recommend that you make sure you know what you’re doing before diving in and changing everything, however it is doubtless one of the must-have pieces of software to have on your PC. Here’s what the author has to say…

As a primary purpose, Starter allows one to view and manage all the programs that are starting automatically whenever operating system is loading. It enumerates all the hidden registry entries, startup folders’ items and some of the initialization files, so that the user could choose to temporarily disable selected entries, edit them, create new, or delete them permanently.

Secondary purpose is to list all the running processes with possibility to view extended process’ information (such as used DLLs, memory usage, thread count, priorities etc.), and to terminate selected process (even a Windows NT service, having enough access rights).

Another one is Windows’ services (and drivers) manager with some advanced features.
