Great application for checking and cleaning startup Items

All in all, this is one of the better specialized applications I have purchased. I would have given the application a 4 1/2, but I had to round down. I would recommend the app to users whose skill set is above a beginner level - such as as tech-savy or computer knowledgaeable users. If you know that an application did not uninstall correctly, or you are reading log files, you will likely find the application useful.

I purchased Loadables after going through the various log files via System Profiler -> Logs. My logs had way too much noise due to missing or mis-configured software. Using Loadables, I was able to locate most culprits (especially the VMware and Parallels gear that burrowed-in like a virus). After locating the offending components, I was able to use a Terminal to delete the items.

To paraphrase a previous poster, the UI is slightly awkward (specifically, the actions window that grows out of the top of the apps window), but nothing that would be considered a deal breaker. I also would have appreciated a context menu available from a right click of the mouse. Title bar feedback would be helpful to let a user know whether they are running under their user account or running as root (in case they flub a sudo). The program *does not* elevate on demand, so if you want to tweak non-user items (ie, belonging to root), you need to either launch as the super user (su), or drop into a shell and elevate. Finally, Vlads english is very good (much better than my ability to speak his native tongue), so there is no language/culture specific awkwardness.
