Find out how FreeFileSync was launched

[ben.sm.leung]

Hi, all,

Thanks to Zenju's effort and we can enjoy FFS, which is really good and high quality software.

I know FFS because I just come to a new job; and found that the previous SysAdmin had built up a "hidden way" to start the FFS on the user's Windows. I have tried to check MSCONFIG, Auto start batch, Windows Task Scheduler, Services and so on; but cannot find how the FFS start. Of course, the user could not tell me any technical information about that.

What I just found :

1. the FFS will synchronize the user's PST from C: to network drive.
2. I could see the FreeFileSync_x64 was running from the Process Monitor.
3. if the user's Outlook got any new mail (changes on the source), the FFS will start sync (lock file appear).

Please comment or pass me any link for my issue if any. Thanks for your help.

Just launch Process Explorer and look at the command line used during process start.
