The text file can be imported into Microsoft Office Excel. The rows identifying Autorun Entries that are enabled (the check boxes are selected) are written to the file prepended with a plus sign (+) those that are disabled are prepended with an X. The rows identifying the ASEP locations (the gray-shaded rows in the Autoruns display) include the location in the first column, the location’s last-modification timestamp in the fifth column, and empty strings in the remaining columns. The data displayed on the Everything tab is written to the file in five-column or six-column tab-delimited format, depending on whether the Check option is enabled. Saving as tab-delimited textĬlick the Save button on the toolbar in the Save dialog box, change the Save As Type to Text (*.txt), and specify a file in which to save the current results. You can apply or remove the filters described in the “Hiding entries” section earlier in this chapter to control which entries Autoruns displays. In both cases, the results are read-only: they can’t be used to roll back a system to an earlier state or configuration, and after they have been captured, you cannot add or remove options to modify the saved results. The binary format can be loaded into Autoruns for viewing at a later time or on a different system, and it can be compared against another set of Autoruns results.

Autoruns results can be saved to disk in two different file formats: tab-delimited text, or a binary format that preserves all the data captured.
