You know what is frustrating? When an app will add itself to the Windows startup list without even asking the user. To remove it, one will have to follow the procedures given here or use MSConfig Cleanup Utility.
Disable Startup is a free tool for Windows which prevent any programs from adding itself to the startup list. When a program tries to add itself to the list, it will show you a warning message. If you don’t want to see the warning message, then you can change the options from the main dialog window.
Additionally, it can also be used to manage current windows startup entries.
Apart from disabling any program from adding itself to the startup list, it also disables any program from making changes to your Internet Explorer Start Page.
It is a nifty little utility which sits in the system tray and takes only 2.7MB of system memory. It works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Enjoy!
