Dear ClipMate Users,
We're happy to offer Startup Guru from Lincoln Beach Software.
The author, Harold Holmes and I have been friends for years, and
when I saw his latest creation, I knew that it would be a great
fit for our users.
Here's the problem that it solves: Windows has several ways
to allow programs to start automatically. There's the RUN
section of the registry. Then there's the STARTUP folder.
Ok, then there's the "all users" RUN registry. And well,
yes there's the "all users" STARTUP folder as well, on some
systems. The Startup folder is tricky to edit, and the RUN
section requires you to use the registry editor. To
compound the problem, lots of programs just assume that you want
them running all the time - things like the Microsoft Office
"fast find" and Real Player.
Startup Guru puts YOU back in charge of your system. Easily
enable/disable startup entries without worrying about where they
are, and easily put things back if you decide to keep them.
There's a handy viewer window that shows you info about the
various programs, such as the program and company names and
descriptions, if present.
TIP: Not all programs HAVE descriptions. Do a "google
search" on things that don't seem recognizable - I found
something called "htpatch.exe" that didn't identify itself, but
looks harmless enough. I've found good information on
various processes at
this site.
We're proud to offer Startup Guru to our users, and we think
you'll really enjoy the faster startups and fewer conflicts. We invite you to

"Don't
let Windows sputter when you need to use your computer now."
Startup Guru presents all of the applications defined for
the startup process of Windows in an easy to view list.
Simply check and uncheck items as needed. To add items to
the startup process Click the add button or drag them
from Windows Explorer and drop them on the list.
By assigning all your startup items to Startup Guru your
system will not be locked in an epic battle for resources
between applications. Each application can be started in
turn and at a predeterminded time. Set the spacing for
automatic startup apps so that those do not get stuck
fighting for resources as well!
Not sure what a certain program is or who wrote it? Click on

have this information but it may help you decide whether or
not you would like to have it
