Handling Autorun Items
Autorun Manager interface allows you to enable/disable autorun items, view the registry key associated with an item, view the parent application/module that has loaded the item and view the properties of the item. In cases where the item is found unsafe/untrusted or you do not want the item to be loaded during start-up in order to optimize your system's boot-up time and performance, you can remove the item from the start-up entries.
To manage an autorun item:
-
Select the item from the main display pane click on the Entry menu from the file menu bar and select the option.
Or
-
Right-click on the item and select the option from the context sensitive menu.
-
Delete - Removes the selected item from the Start-up items. Removing an Autorun item just stops the parent application from loading into your system during start-up and does not remove the parent application. You can still start the application from the Windows Start Menu when required.
-
Copy - Copies the selected row to clip-board of your system.
-
Jump to Entry - Opens the selected entry in Windows Registry Editor.
-
Jump to Folder - Opens the folder containing the parent application or the module that loaded the autorun item in Windows Explorer with the parent application or the module selected.
-
Enabled - Toggles the selected autorun item between 'Enabled' and 'Disabled' states.
|
Tip: You can directly enable or disable an entry from the main display pane by selecting/deselecting the checkbox beside the entry. |
-
Search Online - Opens the default web browser of your system with the search engine specified and searches for information on the selected autorun item on the web.
-
Properties - Opens the Properties dialog of the selected autorun item.
