As a technical blogger, when I blogged about a cool software, I test it myself on my machine. This leaves me a lot of unwanted startup items. If you want to prevent any installer from adding startup registry key of the app trying to install, use StartupEye to deter them. StartupEye is a lightweight utility that runs in background and notifies you when any program try to register itself to run at system startup. This prevent any application from registering itself in startup without you knowing. Once installed, a notification will appear every time it detects registry changes. You can choose to permit the application, delete and prevent the program from adding itself in startup, or scan the file.
If you select to Scan File, the executable file of the application will be scanned using VirusTotal which helps identify unsafe programs. StartupEye works on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. I tested it on Windows 7 x86 version.
