- Right-click on Scotty in the task manager to launch WinPatrol, selecting "Options".
- Windows Vista Users: Accept any UAC Prompts
- Click the "Detect Changes to Internet Explorer Home and Search Pages." option.
- WinPatrol Plus subscribers have the option for Scotty to Monitor in Real-time as shown below.
- For WinPatrol (free), moving the slider all the way to the right will set monitoring to 30 minutes. To increase the length of time from 30 minutes before you want Scotty to patrol again, type in the number of minutes (up to 99) in the minutes box.
