Editor's review
This is a software that lets you manage the start up programs.
Chameleon Startup Manager is a Windows startup manager. You could use it to optimise the boot time as also the speed of the machine by disabling the programs that need not run all the time. The program fully supports Windows environments up to the latest Windows 7, including the x64 edition. Programs can be run according to various functions provided with the manager. These include startup order change, startup delay, priority, consecutive program launch, day selection and so on. Launch options include fixed or automatic delayed startup, allowing the computer to be started as quickly and smoothly as possible. Users have the option of making these edits at Windows startup or applied `on-the-fly` without restarting Windows. The startup manager provides real-time monitoring of programs.
You would be able to temporarily disable startup items without removing them. Monitoring of running applications with relevant stats is available to make out easily what is the candidate for changes to be applied. What adds quite a bit of flexibility is the ability to create start up profiles and save them for re-use. You can have multiple such profiles. Between the lite, standard and the pro editions this tool gives you a whole host of useful features. This lite version is just for giving you a foretaste of what the program can do. If you use a lot of programs and want to optimize the way these are launched, this is the tool for you.
