Version History

Version 1.1a (05 Sep 2002):

[-] Fixed crash after toggling the option "Add to disks menu"
    in the configuration dialog. (Reported by Yuris W. Auzinsh)

Version 1.1 (04 Sep 2002):

[+] Added support for three new registry locations containing
    autorun programs:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\
      BootExecute
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\
      PendingFileRenameOperations
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\
      Explorer\\Run
[*] In FAR 1.70 beta 4 and later, the text in the autorun item
    viewing dialog is now shown as read-only edit lines instead
    of text labels. (Suggested by Ivan Sintyurin.)
[*] It is now possible to refresh the startup manager panel
    by pressing Ctrl-R. (Suggested by Ivan Sintyurin.)
[*] Now Startup Manager does not allow to delete the startup item
    SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Userinit
    because deleting this item prevents correct system startup.
[-] Command lines and parameters of Run registry entries with
    spaces in the path are now shown correctly. (Reported by
    Cognizer and others.)
[-] Run registry entries with spaces in the path are now created
    correctly.
[-] Startup links and registry entries with Cyrillic characters
    in filenames are now  loaded and processed correctly. (Based
    on a patch by Al Lavrov <chh@mail.ru>).

Version 1.0 (15 Dec 2001):

Initial release.
