Tivo Desktop Startup Processes

[hurricanedavid]

I don't want Tivo Desktop's Windows Processes to startup every time I boot up. I see they're not listed as Services (I thought they used to be), but I see them as processes, and have found three keys in the Registry...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Run

"C:\XX\TiVo\Desktop\TiVoNotify.exe" /service /registry /auto:TivoNotify
"C:\XX\TiVo\Desktop\TiVoServer.exe" /service /registry /auto:TivoServer
"C:\XX\TiVo\Desktop\TranscodingService.exe" /auto

I wonder if the "/auto" or "/registry" switches create the entries in the registry so they run all the time.

I want to be able to run these manually, instead of Windows doing it for me every time. I'm going to try tweaking them and seeing what I get.

If anyone can give clarification, that sure might speed up the process.

There are some old start and stop batch files posted on this forum. Try searching using one of the reg keys, that should bring them up.

It provides excellent ability to get to all those automatic startup applications. And you can easily UNcheck what you don't want starting. Three Tivo services show up there.

They don't. TiVoBeacon is the only true service (Bonjour on 2.7). I took them out of my registry a while back and put them in a batch file that I use whenever I want Desktop running.
