Manipulate 'most used programs' on XP

XP Run Count Editor is a tiny stand alone application that allows you to see and edit the run count for all the programs you use in XP.

It doesn't require installation and is extremely quick to load up. There are no visual frills to XP Run Count Editor - just a window with a list of applications, the run count and timestamp showing the last time of usage.

This may seem fairly useless, but its not entirely the case! By editing the run count, you can manipulate which programs appear in the most/recently used list in the start menu. It may be that you disagree with Window's calculations about what you want to see there: Using XP Run Count Editor to simply add huge numbers to the programs you want in the start menu is a great way of tricking XP!

You manipulated results take a few minutes to appear, but everything we tried was successful. It's also useful if you want to start again - on an older machine you might have to wait ages for a new program you use every day to exceed the stats for an old program. With XP Run Count Editor you can just delete the record for the older application.

XP Run Count Editor is a neat, easy way of editing your applications use statistics.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
