RunOnceEx: preserve flags during reboot

[derniwi]

Hi,

is it possible to preserve the FLAGS value of the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx key over some reboots?

I install some software and I want to hide the RunOnceEx window (flags=0x000000b0), but while rebooting, the value is deleted and after the reboot the window will be shown.

Regards, Nils.

Are you sure FLAGS is deleted exactly when rebooting?

If not, you could just recreate the registry entry from runonceex itself before the shutdown command

I cannot think at any other solution..

I tried to re-insert the flags during the "Windows Update" is running (the RunOnceEx task), but after the reboot it was deleted.

(I created a script which added the registry value and I ran regedit.exe without continuing other programs until regedit was closed, and the flags value was there. But after the reboot it was removed)
