Windows 7 and start up programs

Hey all, can anyone tell me why 2 of my programs which normally start up when windows boots don't start at all now? the 2 programs i am talking about is Microsoft security essentials and realtek HD audio manager. I got no idea why they have stopped behaving like they should :confused:

Yes i have, they seem to not appear in that list.

Security essentials don't have the setting to enable it to start when windows boots up, it has always automatically started on its own since install. As for Realtek HD audio manager i could probably live without it on start up, but its still annoying that 2 programs have changed there behaviour with out me doing anything

Why would i want to do that? The only program i see in them registry folders is my windows 360 pad. And i don't want to delete that. I want Microsoft security essentials to run when windows starts as it did before.

Cheers man, that did the trick! Any idea why this has happened? I don't recall messing with my registry recently, unless it was CCleaner or something.
