What is Autoruns?
Autoruns shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. A "show non-Microsoft only" option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system. You'll probably be surprised at how many executables are launched automatically. Language only english.

Helps a lot to remove old apps from autorun
excellent!
Great program for seeing what's going on in your system, but like all of these other "startup" programs, it doesn't include the ability to directly insert a new program to run, or even "run now", like Startup by Mike Lin does; therefore it's not a suitable direct replacement.

Is this easy to put on a laptop

Very trusted
Simply the best at what is does, it shows you everything you need to access and more. Great for both preventing things from running at start-up, and for removing extra menus you don't want to see. Also a virus-busting must.
