What Win Startup Manager is

Win Startup Manager is a free, open-source Windows application for managing programs that launch when Windows boots. It works with startup entries stored in the Windows Registry. Users can display entries, activate or deactivate them, edit or delete them, and add new ones. The interface shows each entry's Registry path and offers sorting options. Users can also export startup entries to a backup and import a backup they have already created. For shortcut entries, a button opens the Windows Startup folders in Explorer; shortcut editing itself is not integrated into the application. The repository includes an MIT License, permitting use, copying, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale under its terms. The license provides the software without warranty. The application was developed with the Ring programming language, using RingQt and the Ring_WinCReg and Ring_WINAPI extensions. The GitHub profile identifies Majdi Sobain as its maker and lists Yemen as the location. The public repository lists no releases or packages.

Who it suits

Win Startup Manager suits Windows users who want to inspect and change Registry-based startup entries, or back them up and restore them. It is less suited to anyone who needs to edit startup shortcuts inside the app.

Verdict

Win Startup Manager covers common controls for Registry-based startup entries and supports backup and restore. Note that shortcut changes happen in Windows Startup folders, not within the application.
