Default What is a good free 64-bit Windows 7 startup program software outdated Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel v2.8?

Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel doesn't seem to show everything like
msconfig.exe, but I don't like that program since it makes me
reboot, show duplicates that get readded, etc. Also, it needs to be
free.


This one seems to be very similar to Mike Lin's program:

Pretty old. Last published at Softpedia back on July 31, 2012 (over 6
years ago). The author's website doesn't exist anymore ("The Page
You've Requested Is From A Site That Has Been Permanently Removed"), so
I couldn't find out if this tool supported 64-bit Windows which was why
Lin's tool become obsolete. Per the screenshots, this tool is just as
limited as Lin's tool in not showing all the startup locations, just the
common or easy ones. No WinLogon Events, no task scheduler, no startup
or shutdown scripts per account, no shell extensions, no drivers, no
boot execute, ... not much.

SysInternals AutoRuns is not installed, just extracted from a .zip file,
so it qualifies as portable, and it supports 64-bit Windows and lists
all the startup methods.


Don't know if it supports Win7 x64, but it works well in Win10 x64 (for what
it does).

I know how simple it is compared to Autoruns, but that's what the OP was
asking for. And it isn't an installation; just unzip the files to wherever
you want and run it. It's six files, and a Data folder, which looks like
it's mostly a bunch of language files.

I agree, it is very limited, but that's what some users like :-) Me, not so
much . . . I'll stick with Autoruns.
