Question: 1 / 525

Where is the startup location in the Windows 8 registry?

HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Windows

HKLM>System>CurrentControlSet>Services

The correct location for startup programs in Windows 8 registry is within the HKLM (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) > System > CurrentControlSet > Services. This is because the HKLM branch contains settings that apply to all users on the system, whereas HKCU (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) only contains settings for the current user. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect as they are referring to the HKLM > Software branch, which does not contain startup programs. Option D is incorrect because it is referring to the HKCU > System branch, which does not exist in the registry. Only option B correctly identifies the path to the startup location in the registry.
