edmoncu Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 what you want is a way to remove startup items. since chikka loads via the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] key, what we need to do is a way to remove chikka under this key.assigning a minus character on an existing entry results in that entry to be deleted.example:"ChikkaIM"=-this removes the Chikka entry under the Run Key.adding a minus sign before the whole key sequence removes that particular key.example:[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]this removes the Run SubKey and all entries beneath it.anyway, treat the Key like a subfolder and an entry as a file.as for chikka, what i did was to create a registry that removes that entry as soon as chikka has been silently installed. in this example, i named the this particular registry entry as remchikka.regWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]"ChikkaIM"=-i run this by typing:regedit /s remchikka.reg
