autorun manager

A program that gets rid of programs that start themselves every time you boot sometimes called a deleecher or an autostart manager, or a startup manager.

SysTweak ASO (Advanced System Optimiser) has a beautifully done one that has a database to tell you what each of the programs does and whether it can be safely discarded.

Ace Utilities includes one as does IObit Advanced System Care.

Windows has a number of mechanisms for programs to start themselves on reboot.

In the startup menu, you can view or execute the shorcuts with:
1. Click Start
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Startup
The short cut files themselves are stored in: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ and C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. You can manipulate them directly with copy/paste/delete.
In registry entries under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products autorun
I suspect there are half a dozen other mechanisms. If you learn how they work, please let me know.
