Disable Startup

Disable Startup is a small software application whose purpose is to help you manage programs that run at Windows startup and prevent the start page of Internet Explorer from being changed. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

Straightforward design

The tool reveals a clean feature lineup. A multi-tabbed environment is employed for organizing the configuration settings which can be used for disabling startup items, viewing entries that currently run at Windows startup, as well as altering IE start pages.
A help manual cannot be found in the package so you need to experiment a little bit with the features in order to understand how it works.

Configuration settings

Disable Startup gives you the possibility to deactivate all new startup entries without showing any warning messages, reveal a warning message when a new startup item is added, or allow all new startups to run. The same configuration settings can be applied for Internet Explorer.
What’s more, you can run Disable Startup at Windows startup and make the application automatically look for new startups entries at a custom time interval in seconds.

Manage current Windows startup items and IE start pages

Disable Startup reveals a list with programs that are registered to be activated at Windows startup. You can view information about each one, such as name, command-line path, and location. Plus, you are allowed to refresh the list with items with a single click.
Last but not least, you can specify the start page of IE for the current user and local machine, as well as set the IE default page URL for the local machine and current user.

Final observations

To sum things up, Disable Startup comes packed with several handy features for helping you manage Windows startup entries and IE start pages. The straightforward layout makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
