Overview
Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is gimp-2.8.exe. The software installer includes 198 files and is usually about 123.33 MB (129,322,211 bytes). The program uses the GLib GNOME library.
