looking for logfile of programs that were started during system start
Hello,
let me please ask something about msconfig I started it to show which programs have been started during system start. Quite a few, I admit. But can I also figure out WHEN they were started? Think I'm looking for a kind of logfile of programs that were strarted during system start. Thanks, Marcel |

But can I also figure out WHEN they were started? Think I'm looking for a kind of logfile of programs that were strarted during system start. Thanks, Marcel Hi Marcel, You didn't mention your Windows version, edition and Service Pack level. I'm using Windows XP, Professional, Service Pack 3, which includes some tools and utilities that are not included by default in the Home edition. I just tried Start Run msconfig and on the Startup tab, I only have 8 items, 4 of which I added. As far as I know all are necessary. The top down order they appear in that startup tab appears to be the same order they start, as best I recall. The Services tab shows both "Running" and "Stopped" services, in alphabetical order. Only 3 of mine are marked Essential: DCOM Server Process Launcher - Running Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator - Stopped Remote Procedure Call (RPC) - Running Clicking on the Status column header to sort Running from Stopped: There are 50 services Running. There are 40 services Stopped. Now, trying Start Run msinfo32 \System Summary \Software Environment \Running Tasks That shows my same current 31 processes that Task Manager shows, but has a Start Time column with Date-Time (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM) Generally speaking the start order in Task Manager is from the bottom up, with System Idle Process starting first, then System, and so on. (Task Manager = Ctrl+Alt+Del, or right-click clock and click Task Manager) Next below Running Tasks in msinfo32 is Loaded Modules. No time info. Next below that is Services, which shows the State (Running or Stopped), and the Start Mode (Auto, Manual, or Disabled). No time info. Next below that is Program Groups. (Apparently Start Menu stuff) Next below that is Startup Programs with 12 items. The same 8 that were shown in msconfig, and 4 desktop.ini items. (Don't forget to try the Help button on the msinfo32 menu-bar! With Processes tab of Task Manager displayed, on the menu bar click View, Select Columns, and checkmark CPU Time and Virtual Memory Size. The System Idle Process is opposite of other processes, it records cpu idle time, not used time, and percentage of current cpu usage not being used. If you add all the cpu times together, it is almost as much as the total time since you last started your computer. (Zero times are fractions of a second.) Switch to the Performance tab of Task Manager and double click graph. (In other tabs like Applications, you can double click the thick border.) If you are using Professional Edition, you can get other information he Start Run CMD to start Command Prompt. Then: (Select and copy these commands, right click in Command window and paste.) CD %UserProfile%\Desktop to Change Directories to your Desktop folder. Then: tasklist /svc taskSVC.txt to send to your desktop a list of services started by tasks. And: tasklist /M taskDLL.txt to send to your desktop a list of Dynamic Link Libraries tasks use. And: tasklist /V taskVerb.txt for a verbose listing of task information. (Note, that the DLL list has a lot of duplication.) In Task Manager, I have 6 instances of the "svchost.exe" process, which is the generic host for various services. Note, one is hosting 29 services: svchost.exe - 704 DcomLaunch, TermService svchost.exe - 772 RpcSs svchost.exe - 808 AudioSrv, BITS, CryptSvc, Dhcp, dmserver, ERSvc, EventSystem, FastUserSwitchingCompatibility, helpsvc, HidServ, LanmanServer, lanmanworkstation, Netman, Nla, RasMan, Schedule, seclogon, SENS, SharedAccess, ShellHWDetection, srservice, TapiSrv, Themes, TrkWks, W32Time, winmgmt, wscsvc, wuauserv, WZCSVC svchost.exe - 864 Dnscache svchost.exe - 924 Alerter, LmHosts, RemoteRegistry, SSDPSRV svchost.exe - 1296 WebClient Some of the service names have the letters "svc" as part of the name. ("HidServ" is not sneaky, but HID audio SERVice. More information about TaskList: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d.../tasklist.mspx Users of XP Home Edition can download "tasklist.exe" he http://www.computerhope.com/download/winxp.htm (Always check all downloads with your anti-virus software.) The file is ready to use, just put it in your root C:\ folder. Then at Command Prompt: tasklist /? to see a list of other commands available. (Note: The WinXP Pro version of tasklist is in %windir%\system32 folder.) Autoruns for Windows at Microsoft Technet site: "This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP." http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx HTH. (Hope This Helps. --Richard |

looking for logfile of programs that were started during system start - confusion with interpretation
"Leonard Grey" schrieb im Newsbeitrag
... Try Bootlog XP by Greatis: http://www.greatis.com/utilities/bootlogxp/ First, many thanks for your suggestion! Well, I yielded an impressive 260 sec time for booting! Today I am posting again because I am confused when looking at the detailed results. A large amount of programs is launched during start-up. I immediately admit that some of them probably could be omitted. Nevertheless, their lauch takes only small amount of time. The big time consumers are the follwowing programs: System (195 sec) services.exe (180 sec) svchost.exe (several times!) explorer.exe (175 sec) spoolsv.exe (163 sec) avp.exe (167 sec, Kaspersky anti-virus) HpqSRmon.exe (152 sec) mDNSResponder.exe (91 sec) hpqtra08.exe (174 sec) jqs.exe (199 sec) CCC.exe (51 sec) GoogleUpdate.exe (146 sec) RaUI.exe (150 sec) My confusion is that when Windows XP programs like System, explorer.exe and svchost.exe consume so much time, is there any way to accelerate start-up? Thanks and best regards, Marcel |

I have arranged that some programs are not started anymore during booting. That helps. But my main question remains: The "big time consumers" svhost.exe, explorer.exe are still there. Can their start-up be accellerated? Cheers, Marcel |
