3.2  is managed too by wineboot - for run only at the moment.
You can put a key into  HKLM/.../CurentVersion/Run
called "Test"= "Write.exe".
Thats what I want to be disabled by an option (which can be enabled by
default if not in the config file.)

I want to be sure that nothing else that an app Im trying to test is
running.

There is one solution for that : delay program starting like the font
metrics cache generation does.

Like I said, it can be enabled by default.
