Vista Compatibility If you're using User Access
Control you'll find opening the main WinPatrol interface will require an
additional permission. It's Windows Vista's way of protecting your system
from programs which access criticial system locations. You may
already have some startup programs which require UAC interaction. Putting
these programs in your Delay Start list will make life with Vista less
annoying.
Registry Cleaners WinPatrol stores
information about delayed Startup Programs in the Windows registry. If you
allow a registry cleaner to remove WinPatrol entries it may remove
information on programs you’d like to start. If this occurs you can
restore any Startup Programs removed by going to the Options Tab and click
on the “History” button. The History button will list all actions you’ve
taken using WinPatrol and allow you to restore any Startup Programs that
might have been erased.
Registry
Backup The first time you run WinPatrol a backup
file is created in the WinPatrol folder just in case you experience
problems. This file is a registry script called RunBackup.reg.
In the case you need to restore all your original auto run programs and
remove WinPatrol you can click on this file and run it. Our Uninstall
program found is Add/Remove programs has also been enhanced and will
restore any Run programs moved by WinPatrol into our Delayed Start
list. |
