Startup Control Panel --------------------- by Mike Lin (mlin@monmouth.com) Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet that allows you to control what programs run at system startup. I wrote it because I was tired of digging through the registry all the time; I hope you like it! TO INSTALL: Simply run install.exe from the zip. It will extract the compressed program file to your control panel. TO USE: Open control panel and select "Startup". You are presented with a dialog box with several tabs. Each tab represents a different method of starting a program at system startup. These include: Startup (user) - Run the program from the current user's Startup folder. Startup (common) - Run the program from the common (all users) Startup folder (NT only) HKLM / Run - Run the program from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (all users) Registry key. HKCU / Run - Run the program from the HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry key. Services - Run these system services before the user logs on. This is usually used for things like virus scanners. Run Once - These programs are run once and once only at the next system startup. To add an item to a list, right-click some blank space in the list and select "New...". Here you can enter a descriptive name for the program, and the path to the program's executable (you can also browse for it). To modify an existing item, right-click it and select "Edit...". To delete an item, right-click it and select Delete. You can also drag & drop files from Windows Explorer into one of the lists to add it to the list.
