- ?: Display Help about the available options.
- update: Update existing registry settings.
- autostart: Set the service to start automatically when the computer boots.

NOTE: When you make changes by using this command-line utility, any options that are not specified are set to their default values. If you made changes to certain options in the past and need to make additional changes, make sure to include all the options and parameters that should be set to something other than the default value. If you do not do so, previous changes are overwritten with the default values.
