StartupEye

StartupEye is a small Windows application whose purpose is to help you get instant popup and audio notifications each time a program tries to modify your registry entries and register itself to run at system startup.

Gathering a lot of startup entries is not actually a good idea as the PC may need extra time to boot up, so identifying the intruders that place themselves at Windows startup can help you enhance the overall performance of your computer.

The tool runs quietly in the system tray until called upon when it reveals only a few configuration settings to tinker with.

If you perform a right-click mouse operation on the utility’s icon from the system tray, you can make the program run at Windows startup and enable or disable the alarm when it detects that a registry is changed.

StartupEye automatically displays a popup notification each time it detects a program that tries to modify your registry entries. You are offered details about the current registry key, as well as date and time.

What’s more, the tool lets you open the Registry Editor and location where the program is stored, as well as view file properties. You may delete the registry entry and scan it.

Tests revealed that StartupEye carries out a task quickly and without errors. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of your computer is not hampered.

StartupEye offers a handy yet efficient software solution for helping you prevent various applications to register themselves from running at Windows startup.
