Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet that allows you to easily configure which programs run when your computer starts.
Developer-Mike Lin If you want to know more about him, go here-http://www.mlin.net/about.shtml
There are 2 versions.One with installer (59 kb) and the other is the Standalone EXE version (34 kb)
It's very small and simple to use.
You can find it here-http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
Startup Control Panel is compatible with all modern versions of Windows through Windows XP. Windows Vista, after all these years, finally has a very good startup manager built-in; go to Control Panel > Performance Information and Tools, and then click on Manage Startup Programs on the left.(copied from site)
I do not know anything about registry entries.
I wish somebody would check this out! There are a lot of other programs as well on his site http://www.mlin.net/

Hi auto234343
I downloaded the standalone EXE version.
The other version places a startup.CPL in the windows folder.
Mike Lin has made this page for detailed instructions to uninstall: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL_uninstall.shtml
Both versions leave some traces in the registry:
>> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mlin\StartupCPL
>> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\mlin\StartupCPL
So, the standalone version is IMHO portable. The registry entries are just a few and not important.
Personally, I prefer autoruns. It's in the database
EDIT: Afterwards I searched the database and found this app here:
