Ainvo Startup Manager

Ainvo Startup Manager is an approachable application you can use to find, analyze, remove and add new programs to the Windows autostart sequence.

It's practical for deleting the entries of those software products you never use, since these unnecessarily contribute to a slower boot time. Meanwhile, new ones can be created for frequently used applications, such as an instant messenger or audio player.

It's wrapped in a user-friendly interface made from a large window with a neatly organized structure, where you can get started by performing an automatic startup scan with one click.

After revealing the number of total found entries, the tool can be asked to display the name, start path on the disk and source in the registry of each entry. You can refresh this information if any changes were made in the meantime, remove any item from the list, as well as add new ones by indicating their EXE or DLL with the help of the file browser.

Ainvo Startup Manager also provides options for opening an entry's location in Registry Editor to view and edit information. However, this is intended for expert users only, since you may risk inadvertently causing OS stability issues.

Plus, you can view file properties, look up additional details on the developer's website, as well as view a report generated by the app with the name, full path and Registry Entry key of each program.

It worked smoothly in our evaluation, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or show error dialogs. We haven't come across any stability issues. CPU and RAM usage was minimal during startup scans.

To sum it up, Ainvo Startup Manager facilitates a simple interface and options for managing autorun applications.
