Temporarily stop programs in startup folder
Windows XP (and earlier?) prevented programs in the startup folder from running if I held down the shift key when logging in. This was very useful as I was able to put shortcuts to all of the programs I normally run into the startup folder but I could do a quick login (no startup programs) by simply holding down the shift key. Unfortunately, this trick does not seem to work in Windows 7. Is there a way to enable it, or an alternative method of temporarily preventing startup programs from running when I log in?
Many thanks,
