consolidates access and verifies changes to your system initialization files so you can easily maintain control of which programs are started automatically with Windows.
The evolution of Microsoft's PC operating system has brought with it a variety of entry points that determine which programs, device drivers, and services are launched automatically each time you start your computer. This added complexity has made the job of controlling the state of your freshly-booted computer increasingly more difficult. Regrun II addresses this problem by checking at boot time for changes to your system initialization files since the previous boot. It shows you which lines were added or deleted, and can restore any changes that you do not authorize.
Additionally, the program opens editor panes for WIN.INI, CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, WINSTART.BAT, the "StartUp" group, common startup group, NT services, and the portion of the Windows Registry that runs user programs and services at system startup. This provides a convenient central location for accessing the key Windows start points so you can stop undesirable programs from automatically launching, change a program's startup parameters, or add your own programs in a suitable place. Regrun maintains a history log, so you can safely undo changes. It also allows you to bookmark sections of the Windows Registry.
Included with Regrun is a process listing utility which show all running processes on the computer and the DLLs that they use, and the DLLs loaded on your computer and all processes that use these DLLs. You can kill any task from this process list.
