Explore the world of Windows 7 with Autoruns for Windows, the ultimate tool to manage startup programs and system processes. Developed by Microsoft, this software allows you to easily navigate and disable unnecessary processes, improving your system performance and speed. With a user-friendly interface and detailed information on each process, Autoruns ensures that your computer is running smoothly at all times. Get your hands on this powerful tool and say goodbye to all your Windows 7 software troubles.

This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

Autoruns' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc.

You'll probably be surprised at how many executables are launched automatically!
