Autoruns always defaults to the "Everything" tab, which takes forever to load. I'm always interested in the "Logon" tab. Sure, it's one click away, but I'd rather save the time. Is there a way to make it start with Logon selected?

There is no point since you need to wait for all to populate before viewing the logon tab.

It seems like the Logon tab populates fairly quickly after opening, before the Everything tab is finished. No matter though, Autoruns only supports two command line switches, so it looks like you can't specify a tab.

Code:

Usage:
    autoruns <input ARN file>
or:
    autoruns [-e] [-a <output file>]
      -e    Run elevated
      -a    Export output to ARN file and exit
