NMIndexingService (Nero 7) not shown

Hello, Hans L.

In Autoruns, there are no mention of these files (Image names).  How come? Are there other items in Task Manager that are not mentioned in Autoruns?

No, the Nero services should be listed and will be listed by Autoruns as well.
In case the services are really services, they will be locatable on the Autoruns "Services" tab as well as on the "Everything" tab.
Just keep in mind that the process name listed inside Task Manager need not be the same name as the service name.

Find seemed to have a life of its own

I cannot confirm this at all. The Autoruns find function works as expected. Press Ctrl-F and enter a (partial) search string.
If you are not sure whether the name you are looking for will be inside the services list, then you might switch to the "Everything" tab beforehand and the use Ctrl-F.

you cannot sort on headings.

This is a known limitation, implemented willingly. Mark insists that if he implemented sorting by column tabs, then the group headers (the registry locations) would be lost inside the screen display.
This limitation, however, does not prevent you from finding whatever you wish as long as it is in the list.

Conclusion
You will be able to locate the NMIndexingService.exe and the and NMIndexStoreSvc.exe by going to the "Everything" tab, pressing Ctrl-F and entering "NMIndexingService.exe" and "NMIndexStoreSvc.exe" as search strings.
If they are really services, you will be able to achieve the same by using Ctrl-F inside the "Services" tab.

HTH,
Karl

Would you mind posting a current Autoruns logfile here, please?
+ Launch Autoruns
+ Make sure that only these options are ticked: Verify Image Signatures, Hide Signed Microsoft Entries
+ Press F5 to refresh the list
+ Once Autoruns states "Ready", save the list to "Autoruns.txt"
+ Post the list here, please.

Oh, there are Nero autoruns entries? Did you not tell there were none?
Of couse, Autoruns will only be able to show the executable files which will be launched automatically themselves, the parent generation.
Autoruns is not Dependency Walker. Therefore, Autoruns has got no idea which child processes an automatically started programme will launch.
Anyway, please, post your Autoruns log.

About the Find dialogue:
Inside Autoruns press Ctrl-F and enter a search string. Once the first instance has been found, press F3 in order to jump to the next instance (in case there is one) and Shift-F3 to jump to the previous entry. - No problem here.

About column sorting:
No use discussing this with me, because Mark & Bryce are the programme authors. Mark explained why he did not like the idea a long time ago. No new arguments to make him change his mind have ever been brought up, just the request for column sorting will be repeated once in a while. No idea, if it will be implemented or not.

Regards,
Karl

Karl, very useful information, indeed.  I will look at it more in detail later (esp. your next to the last post), although I assume that there is really no need for a log file from me now.  However, I can already now say that my NMIndexingService is also set to manual (as could be expected).

I believe that the changes you suggest would be worthwhile in Autoruns (although it would then have to be called "Automanualruns" :-)

Karl, I understand.  Ah, you learn every day here.  I have, in Autoruns, inactivated all Nero services Etc., since I do not use Nero often, and do not need these things to start with the computer. In fact, when I start to really get into (to learn) A/V in a few months, I'll have to make a decision if it really makes sense for me to have Nero at all.  Perhaps simpler, and more specialized apps would be better in my case.

Thank you very much for your help.
