==== Registry Editor ====
The Windows Registry Editor can be used to automatically start a process in the debugger. This will allow you to debug the startup code for an app that is launched by another process, such as services.
# Start the Windows Registry Editor by running regedit.exe from the run window (Windows + R).
# In the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options.
# Select the folder of the app to start in the debugger.
## If the app isn't listed, right-click Image File Execution Options, select New > Key, and enter the application's name.
# Right-click the new key in the tree and select New > String Value.
# Change the name of the new value from ``New Value #1`` to <code>debugger</code>.
# Right-click the new value and select Modify. Change the value data to <code>vsjitdebugger.exe</code> and select OK.
# In the Edit String dialog box, enter <code>vsjitdebugger.exe</code> in the Value data box, and then select OK.
