Win Startup Manager

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, letting users show, activate or deactivate, edit, delete, and add entries. The interface displays each entry's Registry path and provides sorting options. Users can export a backup of startup entries and import a previously created backup. Shortcut entries have a separate workflow: a button opens the Windows Startup folders in Explorer, but shortcut editing is not integrated into the app. The repository includes an MIT License, which permits use, copying, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale subject to its terms; the license provides the software without warranty. The application was developed with Ring, based on RingQt and the Ring_WinCReg and Ring_WINAPI extensions. The maker is identified as Majdi Sobain, whose GitHub profile lists Yemen. The public repository lists no releases or packages.
