great tool

Just a quck blog entry, check out this great tool for XP from sysinternals, AUTORUNS, download and evaluate it for yourself, i only started using this a couple of days ago after a contact of mine put its url my way. The tool provides information and methods of altering the behaviour of startup programs in XP.

http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/autoruns.html

Autostart locations displayed by Autoruns include logon entries, Explorer add-ons, Internet Explorer add-ons including Browser Helper Objects (BHOs), Appinit DLLs, image hijacks, boot execute images, Winlogon notification DLLs, Windows Services and Winsock Layered Service Providers. The interface is structured so you can switch tabs to view autostarts from different categories. Very nice utility for friends and family support after xmas :-)
