Guest - Bobb - Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/Autoruns.mspx shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP. THIS is a nice feature: Autoruns' " Hide Signed Microsoft Entries" option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system
Guest Anteaus Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 RE: AutoRuns for Windows v8.71 A very handy tool, and very helpful when dealing with spyware infestations. But, do be a little careful with unticking entries, as it allows you to turn off vital system processes such as winlogon. Do this and you won't be able to start your computer!
