O&O SystemInfo gives you the best possible overview of the system settings in your Windows operating system. Here you can delete, disable or change system parameters.
- To open O&O SystemInfo, click on Start/Programs/Administrative Tools and then on System Information.
The Boot Configuration Data (BCD) for Windows Vista and newer operating systems is only supported to a limited degree. BCD Store cannot be manipulated and is only shown for control purposes.
System Information displays:
- Configuration of the win.ini files
- Configuration of the system.ini files
- Configuration of the boot.ini files
- Autostart entries
- Environmental variables
A further important aspect of O&O SystemInfo is the presentation of a list of Autostart entries. Programs from the Autostart Program group are displayed as well as the most important Autostart areas from the registry database, including:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
These areas are also favored by virus programs as storage locations for viruses, Trojans or Spyware. The Autostart entries can be disabled and/or enabled with SystemInfo. This prevents starting damaged or infected programs.
