I use WinPatrol as my start up file manager. For quite awhile as Comodo went through various versions WinPatrol would detect the new version and ask me if I wanted to add cfp.exe -h to the start up list. The -h allows Comodo to start but be minimized to the tray.
With my troublesome update to Comodo V5.9 the same WinPatrol message window came up with cfp.exe -h but WinPatrol would enter the Comodo link as cfp.exe Comodo would then start in a GUI window each time I booted the computer. Unfortunately WinPatrol doesn’t allow you to edit the links within the program.
I finally found the Comodo run entry in the registry where adding the -h worked. Here’s how to add it to your registry.
NOTE: Making changes to your registry can make your computer unusable so be careful! To be safe, make a backup of the registry as soon as regedit opens by going to “File/Export/all”.
Here’s how to make the change,
Click on “Start” in lower left hand of the desktop, then click on “Run”. Enter “regedit” and drill your way down to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Run
You should see the Comodo entry there. Right click on the Comodo line and then click on “Modify”. Go to the end of the line and add " -h" (without the quotes, notice the space before the - sign.
If the Comodo entry isn’t there right click on the right window pane, “New” will appear and then click on “String Value” and add this line (change it to reflect to where you have Comodo installed),
C:\Program Files\COMODO\COMODO Internet Security\cfp.exe -h
Back out of the registry entry and close regedit. That’s it!
