Start Up Order and Timings

A question about : Start Up Order and Timings

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.

I recall that some time last year I ran a utility which showed me a log of all the programs etc. that loaded during startup with details of how long each one took to load and, I think, the resources they needed.

For the life of me I can't remember whether this was some utility I downloaded or whether it was something available from within windows via the command line. Can anyone help please?

Best answers:

• That looks good Fightsback, thank you.
• msconfig is the in-built application that tells you the basic info about what starts up with Windows etc.
• I've always found it much easier to look at the registry keys where startup programs are stored. There's one for the currently logged in user, and one that applies to all users of the machine.
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
