    An alternative method, and the one that I use, is to download Win Patrol. In addition to managing statup items, it is a psuedo malware protection. It will warn of any unatuthorized changes to your system and gives a lot of other information

    The Win Patrol is for security of programs loading without your knowledge, maybe you misunderstood, for your start up programs that load auto when you boot up, you need to see the msconfig program and look at startup tab.

    If you open Win Patrol up and press options. it shows you the start up programs. I just installed this program the other day, and i did not know that was there. It actually shows you all kinds of stuff. Wow,i am impressed .
