After, downloading Sysinternals' Autoruns from the link above. Extract it.
(right-click) Autoruns.zip - Extract All - Extract. If the contents of the Autoruns folder is examined, there'll be two executables in it. "Autoruns.exe" the Windows executable & "Autorunsc.exe" the Command-Line executable. I usually move such programs (programs without an installer & from trusted publisher) to the "C:\Program Files" folder. Then, I make a shortcut to the desired executable. To do this: (right-click) the "Autoruns" folder - Cut - go to the "C:\Program Files" folder (right-click) it - Paste. Now, go to the "C:\Program Files\Autoruns" folder - (right-click) the executable "Autoruns.exe" - Send To - Desktop (create shortcut). (right-click) the newly created Shortcut - Rename.
(right-click & hold) the Shortcut - (drag & hover) over the Start Button - (drag & hover) over All Programs - (drag & hover) over the chosen Menu Folder - (release) (select) Move Here. Now, the Autoruns Program will be easily accessible for later use. Start the program by (right-clicking) the shortcut - Run as Administrator. When Autoruns starts it will seem a little intimidating. *READ THE HELP FILE* It will be necessary to size the columns to better see the Entry descriptions. (click & hold) the Separator/s - (drag & size) each Column. Become familiar with the Program Menu. Go to "Options" - Font - (re-size) Font to 10 & (select) Bold. (...just for more ease of use.) Then, go to "Options" - Filter Options - (select) Verify Code Signatures. This will mark all Entries as either "Verified" or "Not Verified" by Microsoft. "Not Verified" is just that. It doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. Usually it's just non-Microsoft Software that hasn't gone through their verification system.
Pink = "Not Verified"
White = "Verified"
Yellow = "File Not Found"
Purple = "Location" be it a Registry Entry or in a Folder.
