Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone who has ran the ATI 9700 Video Bios upgrade if you noticed anything starting everytime you boot windows.
Here is what happened: I downloaded the update to a local folder: Ran the update, which then rebooted my system. I assumed it would run it at startup or something. Well, the folder I had open keeps opening automatically, EVERY time I reboot.
I found that the update must have placed a statement in my HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run folder. (Just like spyware hehehe
) Now I could see putting a link to the executable in the "Run Once" folder, so it would run one time at reboot. I am wondering if this thing needs to run everytime. A Bios update should not have to launch in windows as it flashes a chip on the video card and then your done. I would have never noticed this had it not been opening that folder on my desktop everytime.
No big deal, just wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior. I just deleted the entry from the Run folder and assume everything is cool...
