Configuring Services through Autoruns?

Question

Is there any way to view or configure startup type for services through Autoruns?

If not, is this something which could be added? It would be very helpful to have an option to do this, since the checkbox only shows that a service is enabled or disabled vs set to manual or automatic, etc.

Answer 1

Hello CLab,

There is no GUI feature/option to do this in Autoruns.
You could change the startup type by changing Start DWORD value for that service. There are four startup states for a service which reflect the value number you could use.

2-Automatic + DelayedAutostart DWORD to 1

2-Automatic

3-Manual

4-Disabled
In Autoruns select service you would like to modify and then right click on it and select Jump to Entry option, which will open registry key for that service:

Thank you for the reply!

Any chance something could be added to at least show the current setting?

Also, can the location for Process Explorer be edited, or does the executable need to be in the same dir as autoruns?

That said, if I drop procexp64.exe into the same folder as Autoruns, it does launch, but I still get the 'failed to launch or locate' popup. Doesn't matter if only procexp.exe is put there (or both it and procexp64.exe).
