Win Startup Manager
What it is
Win Startup Manager is a free, open-source Windows application for managing programs that launch when Windows starts. It works with startup entries in the Windows Registry: users can view, enable or disable, edit, delete, and add entries. The interface shows each entry’s Registry path and offers sorting options. For entries based on shortcuts, a button opens the Windows Startup folders in Explorer; shortcut editing itself is not built into the app. Users can export a backup of startup entries and import a previously created backup. The project was developed with the Ring programming language, using RingQt and the Ring_WinCReg and Ring_WINAPI extensions. Its public repository includes an MIT License, which permits use, copying, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale under its terms; the license provides the software without warranty. The repository lists no releases or packages.

The verdict
Win Startup Manager brings several Registry startup controls and backup options into one Windows app. Shortcut-based entries require a trip to the Startup folders, and the repository lists no releases or packages.
Who it suits
It suits Windows users who want to manage Registry-based startup entries and keep backups of them. Those who need to edit shortcut entries will use the Windows Startup folders instead of editing them in the app.
