The "Software Explorer" option that was present in Windows Defender in Vista is found to be missing from Windows 7 (7048 build). Will the "Software Explorer" section get removed from Windows Defender of Windows 7 ? Can anyone give an update on this? :huh:
Yes, the "Software Explorer" has been removed from Windows Defender from the (build 7048) and newer. Windows Defender has gone to being only a malware scanning feature now as it was intended to be.
You will need to use these methods below instead to change any startup programs.
Yes I too liked the Software Explorer feature, It made it real easy to stop start up programs without using msconfig or regedit. Keep the Software Explorer feature or put a version of it somewhere else in Windows 7 as a separate function.
