Autoruns shows you which programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility.
Alternatively, Autoruns Portable is stealth and will only show the EULA once.

None of the 'wrappers' mentioned here are still available. Would someone please post a working link to a wrapper that will make this app truly portable? Why this app is even posted on a 'portablefreeware' site, while writing to the registry, remains a mystery to me. |
PC Decrapifier helps you remove many of the common trialware and crapware found installed by default on many of the PCs from big name OEMs. Toolbars, anti-virus and other trials, and many other tools that make money for the laptop makers, but just take up space on your computer without providing value. The program lets you check off items to be removed.

WSCC allows you to install, update, execute and organize the utilities from various system utility suites. The program is only an interface: you need to download and install the utilities separately. Alternatively, WSCC can download and run the programs via a web connection. The included Update Manager can check for newer versions of the utilities already installed and can download and install the missing items.
Works with Windows Sysinternals and Nirsoft Utilities suites.
Note: The setup packages are downloaded from the author's website.

WSCC will accept an absolute 'driveless' path, e.g. \portable\nirsoft but a relative path outside it's own directory, e.g. ..\portable\nirsoft does not work

@Ruby: Relative paths to subdirectories (e.g. ".\nirsoft") work for me, but not parallel directories, as in your example. |
FileTypesMan is an alternative to the 'File Types' tab in the 'Folder Options' of Windows. It displays the list of all file extensions and types registered on your computer. For each file type, the following information is displayed: Type Name, Description, MIME Type, Perceived Type, Flags, Browser Flags, and more. FileTypesMan also allows you to easily edit the properties and flags of each file type, as well as it allows you to add, edit, and remove actions in a file type.

I'm really surprised - it works even for replacing txt notepad by another application! Well done, it seems to be really useful!

Although it is extra useful, be extra careful with it or you might screw your system -- check, check, check, & recheck whatever you do.

I stumbled upon this app. accidentally when trying to replace my system icon for .reg files. I used to use IconPhile, but it's process is hidden. Sometimes it's hard to undo. |
MyUninstaller is an alternative utility to the standard Add/Remove Software control panel applet. It displays the list of all installed application, and allows you to uninstall an application, delete an uninstall entry, and save the list of all installed applications into a text file or HTML file. It also provides additional information for most installed applications that the standard applet does not display: product name, company, version, uninstall string, installation folder etc.

I generally use Revo (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1398) to make sure files are removed but to get multiple programs off quickly, I use FreeUninstaller (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1350), which has a local and online search, use frequency, website, and other features. |
