Display Hidden Startup Applications in Ubuntu 13.04

The “Startup Applications” is a built-in utility that allows to manage a list of startup programs. By default, it’s empty because the default startup programs are hidden. So this simple tutorial will show you how to display all startup applications in Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail.

To get started, press “Ctrl+Alt+T” to open up a terminal window for running commands. Copy and paste this code into terminal and hit run to change the settings:
sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
show-all-startup-applications-command
After this command, you’ll see all startup programs by restarting the “Startup Applications” utility.
All-startup-applications
Now you can Add/Remove/Edit startup programs, but don’t disable any program that you don’t know what exactly it does, it may cause problems.
Enjoy!
