The SMS_AutoStartSoftware class is a client Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class, in Configuration Manager, that enumerates software that starts automatically with, or immediately after, the operating system.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

Class SMS_AutoStartSoftware 
{
      String BinFileVersion;
      String BinProductVersion;
      String Description;
      String FileName;
      String FilePropertiesHash;
      String FilePropertiesHashEx;
      String FileVersion;
      String Location;
      String Product;
      String ProductVersion;
      String Publisher;
      String StartupType;
      String StartupValue;
};

Methods

The SMS_AutoStartSoftware class does not define any methods.

Remarks

Much system-dependent software is loaded separately from the system due to the nature of the application. Most software requires the operating system to be running before being loaded. Along with many applications intended for useful purposes, such as sound driver, mouse driver, and other interfaces, items such as malware and viruses tend to place themselves within the same load areas. You can enumerate these applications to monitor the health of some of their security policies and procedures.

There are eight areas in the registry where applications can be run at the startup of the operating system. Enumeration of the following keys provides a list of applications and their associated paths from which header information can be retrieved:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\run

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\load

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

The SMS_AutoStartSoftware class enumerates all items in the %systemdir%\Win.ini file, to identify older applications in addition to malicious software that might use this nontraditional method of activation. This class enumerates applications in the following file entries:

  • win.ini [windows] run=

  • win.ini [windows] load=

The SMS_AutoStartSoftware class enumerates the contents of the Startup folder in the Start menu to provide the path to the binaries from which header information can be retrieved. If the binary is Rundll32.exe or Rundll64.exe, then the class retrieves the header information from the DLL file that is the first command line parameter for execution of Rundll32.exe.

For example:

RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup

In this case, the class gathers the header information from NVCpl.dll, instead of Rundll32.exe.

Note

If the header data for the executable file is null for the company, product, or version field, then the file name in uppercase is substituted for the field.
