In what order to startup programs start?
Is there any relationship between the order in which startup programs
are listed in msconfig (or MSinfo32) and the order in which they
actually start?
Better yet, what is the order in which they actually start? That is,
there is the registry for current user, and I think for everyone,
there is the start up folder for an individual user, and one for
everyone, and iirc there are two more sections.
Right now, my friend's computer had Windows Defender installed, but
afaict, not in the startup routine. I want it to start and run, and I
put in the startup folder for C:\Documents and Settings\All
users\start menu\programs\startup and it starts but with an asterisk,
which means it's not running.
I've read that other anti-malware turn it off, but when I start it by
hand after startup, it continues to run. So I think that means it has
started before the other AV program. EVen though it's not in the
registry but a startup program and even though it's at the bottom of
the list in msconfig. Does my conclusion make sense?
Hmmm. Within a registry run entry, do they start in the
line-after-line order they show up in regedit?
Thanks a lot.
