Agent settings

Previous Top Next |
Registry First Aid Agent is a small utility that starts on system boot and stays invisible in the background. This Agent implements some scheduling tasks.
Advanced Settings page contains options to control Agent functionality.
There are the following options.
Automatically run Registry First Aid Agent with Windows startup
Setting this option ON will force Agent to run at system startup. Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun is used to store "RFAAgent" value referring to start-up Agent path.
Check for new versions
This option defines how often the program will check for updates. Available values are from 1 to 30 days.
Multiple servers are used for version checking. Please refer also to Check the Web for updates topic.
Registry checking reminder
This option defines how often the program will remind to check the registry for errors. Available values are from 1 to 30 days. It is suggested to check the registry at least once a week.
Show Agent icon in the taskbar notification area (near the clock)
It is possible to hide Agent icon from taskbar notification area. It's very useful if you have a large number of icons there or if you don't want the icon visible (if you do not want your computer users to know about running Registry First Aid Agent in the background).
