General: Startup "folders" in Registry
Wed Dec 9 05:46:09 1998


Hi,
if you want to remove the entry in registry, don't have to delete the key. Goto the program, under "options" Uncheck the "Launch on startup" box. You will find that the entry in the registry disappears.

For your interest,
the following keys can be used as "startup folders"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
- (programs normally use the one above)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnceEx
- (Any entries here will only run once(duh!) then get deleted)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunServices
- (Another place where programs use)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunServicesOnce
- (Any entries here will only run once(duh!) then get deleted)

HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
- (hmmm... seems to be used by ICQ only for the Netdetect program)


Hope that helps in your future "dealings" with programs and windows itself.
*hint* you can add any entries in HLM...RUN to run progs that you wish to start during startup. Make it a StringValue.

Bye!
