User \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run] and [hkey _
LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run], all programs under it will be automatically executed in order each time the login is started.

There is also an unnoticed run key, which is located in the registry [hkey_current _
User \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer \ Run] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ currentversionpolicies \ Explorer \ Run] should also be carefully checked.

2. runonce key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ shellserviceobjectdelayload]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ WINDOWS \ SYSTEM \ scripts]

The difference between the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE] and [HKEY_CURRENT_USER] keys in the Registry: the former is valid for all users, and the latter is only valid for the current user.

Iii. Old startup-Automatic batch processing of files

My friends from the DOS age must know about autoexec. BAT (in the root directory of the System Disk) is an automatic batch processing file, which runs automatically when the computer starts. Many early viruses have taken a fancy to it, use Dangerous commands such as deltree and format to destroy hard disk data. For example, "Drive C killer" uses the "deltree"
/Y c: \ *. * "command, let the computer automatically delete all files on drive C as soon as it is started, harm countless.

Tips

★In Windows
In 98, autoexec. bat also has a buddy -- winstart. BAT file. winstart. bat is located in the Windows folder and will be automatically executed at startup.
★In Windows
In me/2000/XP, neither of the above two batch files will be executed by default.

4. Common Startup-System Configuration File

The Windows configuration file (including the windows. ini, system. ini, and wininit. ini files) also loads some automatically running programs.

1. win. ini file

Use NotePad to open win. in the INI file, you can directly add executable programs after the "run =" and "load =" statements in the [windows] section, as long as the program name and path are written after "=.

Tips

The program after "load =" is minimized after self-startup, and the program runs normally after "run =.

2. system. ini file

. Virus is not welcome. For example, if the "kiss of the demon" virus is changed to "shell = c: \ yz1_exe133, if you force Delete the virus program yzw.exe, Windows will prompt an error, so that you can reinstall windows. Isn't it scary? There are also good viruses, such as changing the sentence into a specific shell‑policer.exe
Other program names, see this situation, the other program names are a virus program, as shown in.

3. wininit. ini

Wininit. the INI file is a system configuration file that is easily ignored by many computer users, because the file will be automatically deleted after it is automatically executed during Windows startup, this means that the commands in this file will be automatically executed only once. This configuration file is mainly generated by the software installer and cannot be deleted, updated, or renamed after the Windows GUI is started. If it is written into dangerous commands by viruses, the consequences are the same as those of drive C killer.

Tips

★Click "Start> Run", enter sysedit, and press enter to open "System Configuration editing program", as shown in 2. The above files can be conveniently viewed and modified here.

6. Scheduled Start-Task Plan

By default, the "Task Scheduler" program is started with windows and runs in the background.
