But, look at Autoruns from Sysinternals (now Microsoft owned), you cannot find another more comprehensive application that looks in and shows all the startup items from every nook and corner of your PC. You do not have to use msconfig or edit Windows Registry to edit modify any of the stuff. Most if not all modifications are as simple as a right-click.
