codeblue Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 When my Unattached XPCD loads to desktop various programs start up as well. Using Regshot whilst using MSconfig to turn these programs off, I’ve tracked down the reg entries. Is there a way to delete these keys during setup OR is there a way to stop specific apps running on startup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondercik Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Use the cmdlines.txt file from an unattened installation, and for apps that have a registry key delete the value from the following key:HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMachine Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00; This prevents a bad program from running ...[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]"BadProgram"=-; This deletes the whole **** key - probably not a good thing ...[-HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeblue Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 Thanks GreenMachine, so, for example:[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]"BadProgram"=-ZNclient.exe"BadProgram"=-UltEng.exeWould stop the programs ZNclient.exe and UltEng.exe from starting up automaticaly?
