<\/p>\nFirst you must be using Windows 7 or Windows 8x for this to work, so if you’re not, this won’t work for you.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of ways to see what starts with Windows – but we’ve found yet another. And maybe this one drills down a little deeper. So if you’re running Windows 7\u00a0or Windows 8.1, why not\u00a0give WMIC a try? WMIC is a program built into Windows 7 and Windows 8x that allows you to create a list of applications that run at startup. So let’s try it now, okay?<\/p>\n
1. Press the Windows key + the “R” key. Now type CMD in the Run dialog and press Enter.<\/p>\n
2. At the cursor type wmic and press Enter. You’ll now see the command prompt change to “wmic:root\\cli>”.<\/p>\n
3. At that command prompt type startup and press Enter – and you’ll the list of applications that run at startup displayed immediately.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You say you want to print it – or save a copy of it in Notepad or Word or whatever? Easy.<\/p>\n
1. Right-click on the Command dialog’s title bar.<\/p>\n
2. Choose “Edit” , then “Select all”<\/p>\n
3. Right-click (again) on the title bar and select “Copy” (or press “Enter”)<\/p>\n
4. Paste your list in Word, Notepad, your favorite word processing program – or even an email (send it to yourself).<\/p>\n
