I understood the idea and what you meant and to a certain extent I even agree with the stance, I only reacted to your post here, where you said:
I was specifically looking for a live monitor
Kinda like having anti-virus that isn't real time and is run when manually
In other words, my point was that there can't be a 'live monitor' that 'isn't real time', because typically one implies the other. Unless you meant a live monitor but for example updated once a second, which is obviously not 'real time' in terms of update interval. This contradicts running it manually though, hence the confusion. :confused:

Anyway, I'm not one to argue much about semantics, I got the idea. You'll find few such programs, like explained earlier, unless you found one in the link I posted above or some other place. Not sure if AutoIt is really needed for this, because you actually need neither a live monitor nor a real time one, regardless of the small details in meaning between them. You only need to check AutoRuns after installing a program, to see if it added something to the startup entries. Any new startup entry won't produce effects until restarting the OS, so you have plenty of time to uncheck / remove it from the startup list. Answering 'not now' or 'later' when an installation package asks you whether to restart to 'finalize installation', or even installing more software at a time, helps here. Generally speaking, nothing else besides software nadling low level stuff on the machine (e.g. drivers, security, disk or video card stuff) would need a startup entry, besides potential custom entries like Rainmeter or some download manager.
