I am somewhat lost. When I right click on autoruns.exe I
don't get the same screen as you do. That's why this is
hard to follow. I right clicked on the start button and
selected open Windows Explorer but it doesn't look anything
like your example. What am I doing wrong?

Robert


Open File Explorer and your downloads folder.

First, is there already a folder named "Autoruns" ?

Look in the Type column and verify a folder is the Type of the item.

You can open that folder, and double-click the "autoruns.exe"
to run the program.

Filename Type
-------- ----

autoruns Folder

*******

If there isn't a folder, now look to see if any file
item is autoruns.ZIP or similar.

Maybe the ZIP hasn't been unpacked to the folder yet.

Use one of the easy methods, to extract the entire folder.

Filename Type
-------- ----

autoruns.zip ZIP file ---+ (Unpack to make folder)
|
autoruns Folder ---+

Once the folder has been created, you can double-click
the autoruns.exe and run the program.

There's (4) exe applications, which one?
I then tried to search for Autoruns.exe
and it found a zip file. So how should I
proceed? I'm still not finding a way of
extracting the file but didn't you say before
that it's already been extracted by the
because it was asking to add to the archive
There's only two possible extractions via 7Zip
One of which I showed you and lead nowhere.

I can try the other and see if its different.

I tried it again using the lower extract here
option:
