I have successfully install Chikka silently, however,

i don't know how to disable Chikka from running each time i run windows.

I have tried several reg tweaks but i can't seem to get it.

Can u guys help me out.

this should be in the silent install group sorry.

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.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"ChikkaIM"=-

i run this by typing:

regedit /s remchikka.reg
