    What run command do I use to access the part of Windows that allows me to control which programs start at startup?

    A Dell technician taught me how to use a run command that brings up a program on Windows that allows me to choose which programs I want to run at startup. Which command do I need to enter into the run to access this program?

    Thanks in advance.

    A better program is autoruns from sysinternals. Another site I frequent has a great database of programs that startup automatically. You can check it out here.
