Does any know of any freeware software that can show what programs and services etc that are loading in REAL TIME ? I would like to be able to see an indication of them loading and obeserve the time they are taking.
Maybe there is not any programs around or if it can be done. Worth a try though.

thanks

But to check what starts up, both programs and services - click start/ run type in msconfig <Press Enter> in the configuration window will be the services Tab and Startup tab, anything ticked will be running.

Just a word of warning esp about the services, if you disable any, make SURE you KNOW what they do - if you disable something thats needed, it could cause all sorts of problems.

Edited: One other program that does show what programs start up, is Ccleaner ( in my Sig) under Tools/Startup, you can disable or Delete the Items - Best to disable that way if something is required you simply enable it.

Start Regedit, go to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System
create a DWORD value called
verbosestatus
and set it to 1, reboot and Windows will tell you what it's getting up to.

774381 2009-05-17 05:21:00 You could try whatrunning.net (www.whatsrunning.net), which includes a start up tab, and various other processes, drivers, modules, and associated info (by right clicking) on threads/processes within the modules. Not sure about load times.

The autoruns (technet.microsoft.com) utility from sysinternals (technet.microsoft.com) (from Microsoft tech-net) might also have what you want...
