I'm using this software just to tidy up my startup programs, therefore find the Initial Setup is very annoying and ended its task & downgraded to Ver. 2009 for its performance. Is there any way to skip the initial setup?

By the time you have waited for this reply, you would have had time to run the Initial Setup ten times.


You must run the Initial Setup in order to use the program. There is a way to skip it by modifying one of PowerTools' configuration file and creating an empty cache file, but it's very much not recommended.

Would you like to post it anyway ( for the 2012 version ) ?
