           Summary: Wrong behaviour of the "native applications startup at
                    boot time" feature in SMSS.
           Product: ReactOS
           Version: TRUNK
          Platform: x86 Hardware
        OS/Version: ReactOS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: ros-bugs at reactos.org
        ReportedBy: hermes.belusca at sfr.fr

After several tests performed on Windows 2000 and 2003 and ReactOS, I found
that the ReactOS's behaviour of the "native applications startup at boot time"
feature, programmed in SMSS (in initrun.c), doesn't exactly correspond to the
Windows' behaviour.

In ReactOS, we suppose that the commands, listed in the 'BootExecute' value in
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager, are of the form:
<description> <program> <params>
where <description> is often "autocheck"... but can be remplaced by another
string.
It is a little more complicated in reality because "autocheck" has a special
meaning and cannot be remplaced by something else.
The true form of the commands are:
autocheck <program> <params>
or
<program> <params>

Read the text file in the zipped attachment for more information, and perform
tests to verify all my statements!
(the very simple "hello world" native program in the archive, displays its
arguments when executed at boot time; used for tests).
