Hi Friends,
This is hopefully a simple Q.
In my HT log today, I see one of the 04's is duplicated, almost identically.
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Restore Desktop] "C:\Program Files\Restore Desktop\Restore Desktop.exe"
and
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [RestoreDesktop] C:\Program Files\Restore Desktop\RestoreDesktop.exe
I was fiddling with that program the other day, and so it looks like I somehow accidentally got a 2nd instance of it to run at startup. (That's what the 04 entries do right -- run at startup?)
But I see the entries are slightly different -- the first one has quotation marks, and a space between Restore and Desktop.
My questions:
What is the significance of those subtle differences?
Should I delete one of them?
If so, which one?
Oh, I did search my system, and there are NOT 2 of this program. I'm not quite sure why 2 of it run at startup, when it's just one program. But it's certainly not the first time I've not understood my computer, lol!
I realize this isn't much of a problem -- certainly not a serious one, anyway. But if someone has a moment to spare, after all the serious problem threads are handled, I would appreciate it.
Thanks very much :breakkie:
Hi Brynn,
The only significance is that the quotation marks are there because there are spaces in the folder names. Windows sometimes has trouble with these kind of folders, so quotation marks are put there to "help" it.
I would delete one, but it doesn't really matter which one. They both do the same thing, load the same thing, so no matter what one you pick the other will still run perfectly fine.
HTH
That's great!
Thanks, SpyDie :)
No problem, glad to help :)
