Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autoruns. Autoruns Portable' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. The app goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP. You can configure Autoruns for Windows Portable to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more.

These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them.
