Dexpot Forum

Hi.

I have converted our home network to use a domain in stead of a workgroup (Windows 7 Home group, actually).

Since I converted my laptop to use this domain, Dexpot does not start automatically anymore, regardless of the setting to do so.
When I start it manually after I log in, it seems to work normally. I have reinstalled Dexpot, but that did not help.

By the way, what mechanism does Dexpot use to auto start?

Thanks in advance!

Windows Task Scheduler if you're running Dexpot as administrator. Registry (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run) otherwise.

OK, thanks. I am running Dexpot as Administrator, but the only thing I can find in the Task Scheduler is an entry named "2", with a trigger "When task is created or modified". I would expect to find something with a trigger like "At log on of any user".

Is something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Apparently.

Please enable the Dexpot log file and click "Apply" in the Settings screen. Disable the "Start with Windows" option. Apply. Enable it again. Apply. Then send me the log.

Here it is. It is short enough to put it here:

I tried the sequence of disabling - enabling "Start with Windows" earlier, without success.
However, now that I did what you asked, there is a new task, "Dexpot Bart", which runs when I log in.
Weird, but problem seems to be solved.

Thanks and regards,

Bart
