Anyone Familiar With StartEd?
« on: July 13, 2018, 02:26:47 am »

Has anyone had experience using this software?

I like how it uses different colors as indicators as to whether a running program can be safely disabled, safely allowed to run or even if the program is necessary or obsolete!

Yes, I know about Sysinternal's Autoruns but it doesn't make recommendations like StartEd.

There is the free StartEd Lite but I'm leaning on purchasing the Pro version ... "If" I can get some favorable reviews.
(The Pro version also finds trojans)

Full feature list

    View, Edit, Delete, Disable and Add entries to your Windows startup configuration
    Detect obsolete startup items and unneeded memory hogs
    Backup and Restore your startup configurations
    Manage System Services with detailed notes and description
    Filter Service List with keywords
    See new startup items and services since last StartEd use
    Uninstall Applications
    Show detailed information about every startup entry
    Launch programs
    Create shortcuts on desktop (useful for temporary disabled items)
    Print out and copy startup list to clipboard
    Recognize Trojan Horses in startup configuration

Well ... Just d@mn!

I took a shot that one of our tech experts had tried this out.

Guess I'm gonna go and dive into the vipers nest anyway!

Great! Thanks for being the guinea pig!   :laugh:

Seriously, please let us know how it is. It sounds promising.
