Our Review:

Codestuff's Starter is the best free choice for the average user.

As its primary purpose, Starter allows you to view and manage all the programs that run automatically whenever your operating system loads. It enumerates all the hidden registry entries, startup folders' items and some of the initialization files, so that the user can choose to temporarily disable selected entries, edit them, create new, or delete them permanently.

Secondary purpose is to list all the running processes with possibility to view extended process' information (such as used DLLs, memory usage, thread count, priorities etc.), and to terminate selected process (even a Windows NT service, having enough access rights).

Download the version Starter.zip and unpack it to get a portable version of this product if you need a standalone version without the setup program.
