Options

You can configure three options for the Autostart feature. Configuring these features requires changes to the weautostart.inf file. Do not make any changes to the weautostart.inf file itself, but create a copy. After creating a copy, you must perform two actions:

• Update the shortcut

  After you create a copy, you must edit the weautostart.exe shortcut. The complete path to weautostart.inf is included in this shortcut. Change this path such that it points to your copy.

• Update the INF file

  The weautostart.inf file contains a pointer to itself in the strings section:

[Strings]
...
WEINF="C:\Program Files\WindowsEnabler\weautostart.inf"
...

Change the appropriate line (starting with WEINF) in your copy of weautostart.inf such that it points to your copy.

Current user

By default, WindowsEnabler enables the Autostart feature for all users on a specific machine. You can change this, such that it is enabled only for a specific user.

• Edit your copy of the weautostart.inf file and change all reference to HKLM into HKCU.
• Make sure that the required user is logged on the machine.
• Install the Autostart feature.

If you use this method, you have to install the Autostart feature for every user on every machine that he or she uses.

No uninstall

By default, the Autostart feature generates uninstall information. A user can then remove the Autostart feature through the "Add/Remove Software" control panel. You can disable this option.

• Edit your copy of the weautostart.inf file. The DefaultInstall section looks like this:

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg=WE.AutoStart.Reg, WE.WhoAreWe.Reg, WE.Uninst.Reg

Remove the WE.Uninst.Reg part. The DefaultInstall section should now look like this:

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg=WE.AutoStart.Reg, WE.WhoAreWe.Reg

• Install the Autostart feature.
