Windows 7 Slow to Start up?
A common reason for slow startup time is due to applications automatically set to start on bootup or login. With Autoruns for Windows you can find out exactly what programs are automatically starting up. Autoruns will find programs in your startup folder, Run, and RunOnce. It can be configured to also look in other locations like Explorer shell extensions, Winlogin notriciations, auto-start services, browser helper objects, among others.
Microsoft provides both a graphical user interface as well as a command line interface.
