FCorp - KickStart

KickStart is a straightforward system tool that enables you to easily manage all of your startup programs in a few clicks. With it you can add or customize startup apps along with Windows services.

When you run KickStart you get a list of all the running applications you have on your computer. It displays information about them such as name and parameter (which is actually the location of the .exe file) and enables you to edit it.

You can change the name of the registry and keep the location parameter, or you can edit that as well in case you want to use a different version of the same application.

There are some applications that you don’t want running at startup as they either take up too much time to load or are simply useless. For those cases, KickStart proves to be quite handy as you can remove the unnecessary applications with a simple click. Another advantage to this is that you can choose to disable application startup for the current user or for all users.

As far as services go, they can also be removed but you also have the option of choosing a startup type for each of them, ‘Boot’, ‘System’, ‘Automatic’ and ‘Manual’.

To sum things up, KickStart is lightweight, easy to use and practical, which makes it a tool to be considered whenever you need to manage startup applications and services.
