| AutoRuns for
Windows
| This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of
auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what
programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and
shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These
programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other
Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations,
including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects,
Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns
goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
This simple guide will bring up the Windows start menu inside GNOME and
allow you to run, use and install any Windows app (that can run in a VM)
inside your existing desktop. It takes about 10 minutes to setup, minus
the time to install Windows, and involves one command in total.
At home we have a Windows 2003 Server running as a domain controller and
file server. Whilst this does its job pretty nicely for Windows clients,
I've never been able to connect to it successfully with my Mac running
OS X 10.3 Panther. Browsing the network I have always been able to see
the server, but any attempt to authenticate simply returned a error
along the lines of "the original item cannot be found". Frustrating.
