I'm having lots of luck with a program called RegSeeker (a free download).
Works very well. Searches for anything, displays all startups with one
click (hklm-run, hcu-run, startup folder... and more), powerful cleaner and
makes a backup of everything done, therefore can be undone.
It also includes its own tweak.. has many settings and enhancements for your
system. Simple to use right off the bat.
