    I had to do a double-take. The screenshot looks too much like an existing freeware startup manager called Starter which I currently use and recommend. Has same features plus process/service manager in one util. Starter has been around since 2005 but I can't find a revision history for EF Startup Manager anywhere. Both GUI's are practically identical. Any it's pretty good, especially the delayed start option and the ability to change the order of startup programs.

    Well... one must write some utily flawless if he want to charge money for it AND there are (better) freeware concurents around.

    I'm using Mike Lin's (simple and effectie) Startup Control Panel for daily basis issues and SysInternals Autoruns if I really want to get deeper:
    - Autoruns is the best on the market.
    - both above are free so... why paing for this one?

    4 out of 5 (if the price is ignored)

    What a joke. The installer has been configured to install to directory names that represent a different bit of software this author sells. (Oops, can you say "Careless"?) And when run, you'll find that for some bizarre, inexplicable reason, this stupid utility displays all paths in 8.3 format (i.e. "C:\progra~1\thisis~1\program.exe" instead of ""C:\program files\this is the path\program.exe").

    Like msconfig does except they charge $15 for it? Ehh, I'll pass.
