dopusrt.exe is a small program with two functions:
Directory Opus has an option that allows you to launch open a new window (or run a command) when you double-click an empty part of the Windows desktop. When that option is on a copy of dopusrt.exe will be running to detect the double-click and launch the main program (or open a new window if it is already running). Using dopusrt.exe to do this means that the desktop double-click feature still works, using very few resources, even when the main program is not running.
If you set Settings -> Preferences / Launching Opus / From the Desktop: Disable and click Apply then you will see dopusrt.exe exit. Enable the feature again and the process will come back.
If the desktop double-click feature is enabled then dopusrt.exe will be set to run at startup via the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Some security software may show a warning about suspicious behaviour from "Directory Opus Helper Application", which may be due to detecting the mouse hook installed by dopusrt.exe. If you wish you use the desktop double-click feature you will need to allow this.
