Which Windows program is running these?

[st]

I mean, actually read and execute these parameters:
1) Run= and Load= entries in Win.ini file (or its mapped copy in Registry);
2) Run and RunOnce keys in Registry?

Thanks.

Google search the file name entries and see what comes up.

When is the homework due?

Win.ini in XP is for older Win98 programs.

In Windows NT/XP:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"run"=""
"load"=""

~~~

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

To avoid misunderstandings, I would like to know _which Windows process_ run
the programs listed under those parameters: winlogon? userinit? explorer?
