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.

Paul




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.

Robert


The first step is reviewing the materials on
hand, before deciding how to proceed.

If the ZIP is already unpacked to a folder, you
just use the file in the folder.

If the ZIP isn't unpacked, use one of the
techniques in the picture, to extract the
entire folder for easy usage.

Paul


I'm opening the folder and right clicking on
the file but the options given aren't the same
as your example. It was similar to what we
encountered in finding the driver. I never
would have thought it would be under Network
Setup.

I'm just fumbling here not really knowing what
I'm doing trying to follow your instructions but
as I said its not giving me the same results when
I right click as you can see from the screen shots.
Even your page and setup looks totally different
than mine does.

That's why I say I must be doing something wrong.
don't know if I'm in the same Explorer as you?
I right click the start button to get to Windows
Explorer, is that correct?


Thanks,
Robert

Your first picture, you had the materials in hand!

Your first picture looks like "autoruns.exe" was
already extracted and sitting there in the folder.

All you needed to do is double-click the "Autoruns.exe"
in the first picture.

You should seriously consider going to
Control Panels : Programs and Features
and removing 7ZIP. I can see this is causing
no end of misery.

All that you really need, is one procedure for "Extracting"
a ZIP to a folder, when you do a download. And File Explorer
is plenty for the job.

The poster "Char" doesn't like the 7ZIP integration
into the desktop, but it doesn't bother me. I'm beginning
to see Char's point, that maybe it's too complicated to
keep track of.

Microsoft shouldn't have put its "virtual folder" feature
into Explorer. Web sites could have used SFX versions of
ZIP files, which would end in EXE and would unpack
when you double clicked them. This "extraction" nonsense
if for the birds, that's for sure...

I removed 7Zip, right clicking looks different

I tried to extract it; I showed the example you

Now, we get to run the actual "autoruns.exe" program.

Your result by doing that, was supposed to look like this.

In this example, I'm showing where the USB3MON is for my
Renesas brand USB3. Yours will be Intel flavored, so the
line will be *similar* but not exactly the same as mine.

By unticking the box for the "USB3MON" flavor, the tray
notification should stop running.

Do I just right click Autoscans.exe and run

suggested after the one I tried to compare them
and the last picture is after the extraction.

I don't see any difference? I restarted the computer
to see if the pop-up was still there and it was. Did
I do it wrong? It didn't look exactly like the one you
suggested but Autoruns was checked in yours so I
thought it was OK to try.

http://i65.tinypic.com/2dgn5th.jpg Good value by auto-suggestion in File Explorer

http://i67.tinypic.com/2nbdf00.jpg Uh, we switched to 7ZIP???

http://i63.tinypic.com/awsxus.jpg Seems like a happy ending.
Now, to double click "autoruns.exe"

Robert


The Extraction was the easy part.

Now, we get to run the actual "autoruns.exe" program.

Your result by doing that, was supposed to look like this.

In this example, I'm showing where the USB3MON is for my
Renesas brand USB3. Yours will be Intel flavored, so the
line will be *similar* but not exactly the same as mine.

By unticking the box for the "USB3MON" flavor, the tray
notification should stop running.

I see the difference now, you're using
SysInternals; that looks pretty advanced.

I showed you the one I chose and then
the example you said you said would likely
work so you could compare them and then ran
it with the results at the end.

Do I just right click Autoscans.exe and run
as Administrator?

Robert


Run as administrator is fine.

I think I got it,. right under the pink area
second entry USB3MON I un-ticked it.
Then restarted the computer and the pop-up
was gone.

Many thanks,

If you ever re-install that USB3 driver, that
tick box will come back again. Autoruns isn't of
much use against any sort of "persistent" pest,
but in this case, you shouldn't have to go back
there for months. At a guess.

And it's a good thing it's near the top like it is,
as scrolling through all the available tick boxes
takes some time.

I half didn't know what I was doing or
what to look for. Why do they make this
so difficult?

At any rate the problem is resolved but
you say it will come back? I never had
this problem before?

Anyways, thanks again for all your good
help and taking the time to explain things.

Robert
