The Autostart Manager
With the Autostart Manager it is possible to manage programs that are automatically started when Windows starts. Normally, these programs are loaded directly at system startup. If they are managed by the Autostart Manager, they can be started with a time delay, depending on the load of the system or the hard disk. This enables a faster system start and thus offer an improved performance of your computer.
When you open the Autostart Manager, you will see on the left side a list of all the autostart programs installed on your computer. These usually start without delay, i.e. directly with the start of Windows and can thus cause your computer to start very slowly.
Simply use the arrow symbol to select the autostart
programs that you want to start at a later time and in this way you can reduce the time needed for Windows to start. Your
Windows operating system will boot up and be ready for use much faster this way.
If you want to start an autostart program again without
a delay simply move it back from the folder Autostart with delay to the folder Autostart without delay.
Set delay
If you have a program in the Autostart with delay folder, you can easily determine by how many minutes the start of this software should be delayed. Just click on the program and select in the Delay column, select the desired time span.
The following entries are available here:
-
Do not launch: The application will be managed by the Autostart Manager, but will not be started on the next reboots of the system. It remains inactive.
-
1-10 Minuten: The application will start the number of minutes selected here later.
-
Automatic: The application is started automatically depending on the CPU/disk load. This means that another autostart application is only started when the system load, which was caused by the start of other autostart applications or other processes has decreased again.
Properties
If you double-click on the entry of a program in the lists of the Autostart Manager, you will get extensive information about the managed software.
Custom Device control
You can use the device control to define for your computer which storage media are permitted for reading and/or writing data. For example, you can prevent private data from being copied to a USB stick or burned on a CD. Furthermore, for removable data carriers such as USB sticks or external USB hard disks, you can specify exactly with which removable data storage devices you can download data. For example, you can use your own USB hard disk for data backup, but other hard disks have no access.
In this overview you can see what effects the settings of the device control have for the respective user. Via Edit rules you can adjust the settings for the device and for the user according to your wishes.
USB Keyboard Guard
Our software now also protects you against a new threat: infected USB sticks that can pretend to be a keyboard for your operating system and can thus inject malware.
The software will inform you if your system assumes that a USB device is a new keyboard when it is plugged in and you can confirm that it is or is not by entering a PIN.
| The software remembers all keyboards that have already been approved and does not ask again. |
