StartUpLite

StartUpLite is a lightweight Windows freebie that can be used to control the startup items.

What’s more important however is that StartUpLite was developed to disable or remove unnecessary startup items, so the regular entries do not appear in the app.

Once launched, StartUpLite scans the computer and looks for startup items, letting you disable or remove any of them. What’s more, each entry comes with useful information that allows you to select exactly the ones you don’t need.

Although it doesn’t require advanced technical knowledge, it’s highly recommended to search the Internet for more information on the items you wish to disable. The app doesn’t come with a backup feature to save the default settings, so in case something goes wrong you have to manually fix the issues.

The good thing however is that StartUpLite works like a charm on all Windows versions, but administrator privileges are needed on Windows 7 workstations.

As a conclusion, StartUpLite is clearly a handy piece of software that helps you boost computer startup speed and block unnecessary items from loading together with Windows.

All things considered, StartUpLite could be a useful product for many users out there, but there still are some things to be improved. It doesn’t come with a help manual to provide assistance, so dedicated tools to get more information on the selected startup items could come in very handy to all user categories.
