"Mike Lin took down it's former website" ... That's a real bummer. Mike's programs helped out a bunch of people that I introduced to this. I definitely owe him. Great software and a huge help supporting XP and dealing with insistant autostart programs and junkware.

It appears Mike Lin took down it's former website -- www.mlin.net is now void of any of his utilities.
After declaring all his software obsolete, he provides a link to https://web.archive.org/web/20131109164426/http://www.mlin.net/index.shtml.
Sadly, as most of his utilities were single file executables (exes), they didn't get harvested into the Web Archive; SCP is still available from:

The entry was updated to reflect this...

This tool has been on my computer for years now - its a missing system program that everyone should have in their Control Panel for ANY Windows 9x-XP install. Fixes one of the worst problems with Microsoft: every program trying to dig itself in and run at startup whether you want it or not.
Author is quick to point out his program isn't necessary for Vista. Go to Control Panel > Performance Information and Tools, and then click on Manage Startup Programs.
@webfork: I'm in that bunch, too... :(
