Chameleon Startup Monitor (Startup Inspector) for Windows

Chameleon Startup Manager is a startup control panel (msconfig replacement) that enables the full customization of startup programs, including startup order change, startup delay, priority and much more.

When programs are installed on your computer, different and unnecessary applications are often added to the startup list. There can be dozens of such applications, and their simultaneous operation results in slow startup of your computer and considerably reduces its performance.
Chameleon Startup Inspector allows real-time monitoring, with approval or rejection of each new program.

Some programs may add themselves to the Startup list automatically each time they are launched. Windows Startup Inspector allows such programs to be disabled automatically in case they have been previously disabled.

In addition, Chameleon Startup Monitor functions as a startup delayer, launching programs with a startup delay or sequentially after another program.

If the selective startup mode is on, Windows Startup Monitor can be used to select which Windows startup config should be loaded at Windows startup.
