It's a fantastic idea, and a free program too, so I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth in the most awful way, but really - .Net is slow! Even optimized, even on a fast machine, it's always going to start several times slower than a native Win32 application. Grumble, grumble :) Isn’t there some bitter irony in trying to speed up startup by using a program written in .Net, which is notorious for long loading times (let alone the memory requirements)?

How about RunScanner http://www.runscanner.net/ It will help you analyze your startup items so you only keep the ones you need. HP is the worst in this area, when you install their drivers, watch tons of extra startup items show up that you don't really need.
