I like Reg Organizer because it shows all the programs that start up with windows and allows you to either delay their startup or to disable them from starting up. The taskmaster doesn’t show you all the programs that start up with Windows. I don’t know if Lorien Cleaner does that. I have used other optimizing programs and Reg Organizer seems to be the best of them all. I know my computer would freeze at places and when I stopped some programs from starting up with Windows startup, the performance greatly improved. You can take Lorien Cleaner for a spin and see if it helps you to optimize your startup. It’s dirt cheap so you can’t really lose.
