I'm now making a script creator for this. It will create a RunOnceEx.cmd file (and will also work with Windows RunOnceEx).

No. Microsoft must do that, we can't. And if they do it, it happens to everyone.

Yes. Otherwise I wouldn't call it 'Alternative RunOnceEx'. And that mine creates a scrollbar when there are too many tasks.

Important: I found out that it doesn't work with Vista, because of administrator rights. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Nevermind, I found out myself. Now updated to version 1.1! See first post.

Yes. You can even use my alternative RunOnceEx (topic) in combination with those two.

Note: If you have set more than 18 tasks, a scrollbar will appear in the window. At that maximum size, the window does not fit on a 800x600 screen anymore.

Hello, I have created an application which can be used as an alternative for the Windows default RunOnceEx. It works almost the same, and by default, it looks like this... ...but you can customize every text and every image. You can even set the text font! It's pretty easy to let it look a little 'older': Or to let it look more like Windows XP: Download installer (Version 1.6, Jan 24, 2008) (To run it silent: RunOnceEx.exe /verysilent) NOTE: If the installer runs silent, it automatically begins installing your applications (if you have added any; see below). VERSION HISTORY Version 1.6 (Build 31) - Removed auto-adding of Registry values for debugging. Version 1.5 (Build 30) - Fixed issue which occured when using multiple windows - Added a so called 'Easer Egg'....... Version 1.4 (Build 25) - Bug fix Version 1.3 (Build 22) - Added support for multiple RunOnceEx windows Version 1.2 (Build 18) - Added some new icons: $VISTA5-8, $XP3-7 Version 1.1 (Build 14) - Vista fix - Fix in recreating RunOnce values Version 1.0 (Build 10) - First public release USAGE Just like RunOnceEx, but all entry's must be stored in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Ruby Software\RunOnceEx, not in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx! To use multiple RunOnceEx windows (e.g. for multiple groups of applications), store the properties of the secound window in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Ruby Software\RunOnceEx2, the third in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Ruby Software\RunOnceEx3... Example RunOnceEx.cmd file: The italic part adds the installer of my RunOnceEx application to the RunOnce key. If you forget this, it will not work! Added registry entry's: TEXT: The text above the list of applications. Default: Please wait while Windows installs... FONT: The text font. PNG: The installation icon. Value can be a path to a PNG image (e.g. %systemdrive%\installer.png, best use a size between 32x32 and 48x48), or one of the following constants (italic constants are added in version 1.2): PNG_arrow: The arrow icon. Value can be a path to a PNG image (best use a size of 16x16 or less) or one of the following constants: PNG_success: The success icon. Value can be a path to a PNG image (best use a size of 16x16 or less) or one of the following constants: Download list of constants as Word Document I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

That does not mean he's doing illegal things!
