I know that under Windows there are multiple ways to get an app to autostart but I can never remember what all of those ways are.
Is there a single unified way to bring up a list of all programs which are set to run themselves at startup and let me disable those I don't want?
I'd prefer something built into Windows. I have Windows 7 Starter. But a free / open source / shareware tool would also be acceptable.
(This time the software I want to prevent from autostarting is: MSN Messenger, Y! Messenger, and Vodaphone Mobile Broadband, which starts whether the dongle is inserted or not. None of these three are in Windows's "Startup" folder.)
