AutoDialogs is the service name of the file process ad.exe, and a component of the program MetaProducts AutoDialogs, or AutoDialogs, which is created by MetaProducts Corporation. MetaProducts AutoDialogs is a type of desktop customization software that is developed to give quick access to the file folders used mostly in Windows Open/Save as/Browse for folder dialogs, which include all Microsoft Office versions, Registry Editor, and Windows Explorer. With this software, a user can insert pre-selected file folders into the dialog boxes through the system tray menu when double clicking it, or a pre-assigned hot key for a single keystroke, so there is no need to go over the mouse just to navigate the folder needed. As a component of the software, ad.exe is advisable to be kept stored and remain running in the background, because it has a digital signature from MetaProducts Corporation - VeriSign Time Stamping Services Signer - G2, and enables its function. Terminating it can cause the software to not properly work, or may not provide the task it requires.
