I want to thank everyone for their kind responses regarding the solution to resolve the RunOnce problem. I have revamped my website, the old link is no longer valid so please update your bookmarks. The new link is: http://it.megocollector.com/?p=56 An excerpt of what can be done using a batch file: REG ADD HKCU"\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v RunOnceComplete /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f REG ADD HKCU"\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v RunOnceHasShown /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f Or AutoIt script: RegWrite ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "RunOnceComplete", "REG_DWORD", "00000001") RegWrite ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "RunOnceHasShown", "REG_DWORD", "00000001") Not only is the solution available for those who would prefer to use regedit. I have compiled a couple of executables that will also resolve the RunOnce problem. These executables come in both silent and with an interface. Something for everyone. Thank you again, Canon
