will allow Windows update to run on startup.
How Does this Affect Me?. The Microsoft Windows Registry contains information that Windows uses
during normal operations, including system options, property settings, applications installed, types of
documents each application can create, ports used, and so on. Information is stored in keys, such as run
and runOnce. The run and runOnce keys cause programs to run automatically. Many worms and
viruses are started by a call from the Windows Registry. If you limit what can start up when you log in,
you can reduce the potential for worms and viruses to run on your system.
The following links provide a description of the Microsoft Windows Registry and the Run keys:
