Windows 8.1 Runonce

[Orsi]

Hey there.

 

How I can properly add a runonce registry to Windows 8.1?

 

I tried the following but everything I does it is to run vlc.exe after the desktop shows, not before like the previous Windows used to.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]"VLC"="\"C:\\Users\\Raphael\\Desktop\\Appz\\VLC.exe\""

Btw, an ideal solution would could be able to run something like 'sleep.exe' to forbit Windows to load its desktop until the sleep.exe process is closed.
