I have both CCleaner and Ace Utilities installed on my computer. In the Startup section, CC lists 19 startup entries (some of which are enabled and some disabled). However, in Ace, my Startup section lists over 35 entries (again, some enabled, some disabled).

Why the difference?

Did you have Ace Utilities before you had CCleaner?

That being the case, I don't think CCleaner would pick up programs in Startup which have already been disabled by another program.

That's the first thing which popped into my head, but I'm not 100% sure about it, as I've never experienced that situation.

Edit: Welcome to the forum by the way.

That was it. Ace also lists a few startup services (not programs) and I guess CC doesn't list those.

And thanks for the welcome!
