To view Windows self-startup information by using the command prompt

To view the startup information for a Windows system, we typically view it by invoking the System Configuration Utility by entering the Msconfig.exe command in the Run dialog box, or by using some third-party system software. Sometimes our system may fail to run the System Configuration Utility because of a virus damage. At this point, we can also view Windows self-boot information through the command prompt, as follows:

1. Through the "start" → "program" → "Attachment" → "Command Prompt" command, enter the command prompt Operation window.

2. Enter the "WMIC startup get Caption,command" (without double quotes) in the Command Prompt action window. When you enter, a command prompt Action window lists the program information that this computer started with Windows. The "Caption" column in the window is the name of the self-starter project, and the Command column is the specific path for the program to start from.

If we need to export windows from boot information to a text file for easy viewing or printing, we can also use the "Wmic/output:d:\startup.txt Startup get Caption,command" command (without double quotes). When you enter, a text file named "Startup.txt" appears in the D disk, and you can open it to see the program information that was started with Windows from this computer. The "D:\startup.txt" in this command is the path and name of the output text file, and can be modified as necessary.
