PLATFORMS:
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4

DESCRIPTION:
When Windows starts up, it automatically launches a number of programs for you. 
Some of these come from the Startup folder. Windows also looks in six other 
locations for files that should be launched at startup. Startup Cop helps you 
handle problems with programs that are automatically launched at startup by 
listing them and letting you disable, enable, or delete them. You can save the 
list of programs that are currently enabled or disabled as a profile that can be 
restored at a later time.

REVISION HISTORY:
Changes in Version 1.01:
- Fixed: If a profile contained a startup item whose command-line was enclosed 
in double-quotes, it would not be processed when the profile was restored.

INSTALLATION:
To install Startup Cop, run the supplied INSTALL.EXE program. To uninstall 
Startup Cop, use the Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel. Before 
uninstalling, you should enable all startup items. For details on program 
operation, refer to the program's online help file.
