It took a while to find this (It was buried in your Clean Grokster Post) Did you ever check this program out?

One program I find I can't do without (It's one of the first I install if I re-load Windows) is Mike Lin's StartupMonitor. Here is a quote from Mike Lin's Home Page.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
StartupMonitor is a small utility that runs transparently (it doesn't even use a tray icon) and notifies you when any program registers itself to run at system startup. It prevents those utterly useless tray applications from registering themselves behind your back, and it acts as a security tool against trojans like BackOrifice or Netbus.
