Summary0022299: MM can create unwanted entries GoogleChromeAutoLaunch_xxxx in Windows autorun
DescriptionIt seems new Chromium has some experimental feature causing, that it can create entries like
"mediamonkey\chrome.exe" --startup-foreground-launch
in Windows Autorun registry section (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run). Such exe even does not exist, so it does not run anything, but it can clutter Windows registry a lot, because it always creates the same entry with new unique ID few second after every app start. We should switch this feature "LaunchOnStartup" off in Chromium.

Fixed in build 3519. Affected users should delete entries manually (they will need admin rights), i.e. delete in regedit all keys from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run with name like GoogleChromeAutoLaunch_<GUID> and value containing "MediaMonkey\chrome.exe" --startup-foreground-launch
