Tom AZ Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Andavari . . . how do you have things set in the Preference tab of your OpenDNS Updater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 31, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2009 The default settings, which has it check for IP address changes every five minutes. It will also check for updates at each startup, and logon. If you want it to automatically start with Windows you have to manually enable that setting, it's not enabled by default.

What about some of the other boxes in Preferences? Also, for some reason, when I enable the "Start when Windows Starts" box, that setting doesn't hold. Each time I reboot, it seems to clear that setting and the Updater doesn't load into my system tray. Do you have the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are correct, the enable startup with Windows is broken which is verified by CCleaner's registry cleaner because it adds an incorrect start path. What I did was create a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\OpenDNS Updater\OpenDNS Updater.exe" in the Start Menu's All Users Profile StartUp folder, in XP that's located at: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 31, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2009 ... you can also use the setting to enable it as a service, however I won't use that one because it doesn't add the icon into the systray next to the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
