Evening,

I have installed Msn Messenger 6.2 with RunOnceEx.cmd, it's works fine

But my question is :

How i do disable "autorun or auto start"?

I look in Reg... but i don't found it about start or something like that.

Please someone can help me?

Thanks alots.

PS, sorry for my bad English.

Irving

I have the same problem. The MSN Messenger coveres the RunOnce Window and it doesnt look neat. The computer is gonna reboot anyway so...

If there is an easy way (a switch or something) I would be interested.

@McoreD

Install MSN Messenger using the "/QN" switch if you don't want it to show a bar while installing. If it is starting up after install, have this line as the next after the line that installs MSN messenger (of course, modify it to suit your RunOnce method):

taskkill /F /IM msnmsgr.exe

@Alpheratz

This code in your regtweaks will stop MSN messenger starting up automatically at every boot-up:

;remove MSN Messenger from start-up
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MsnMsgr"=-

REG ADD %KEY%\062 /V 1 /D "taskkill /F /IM msnmsgr.exe" /f

That's what I was looking for. Thanks very much prathapml.

Thanks prathapml for your help.

It's seems work that .reg and now i try with install xp.

I let you know.

Thanks again

Dear prathapml,

It's seems don't work

Perhaps (i am sure i doing something wrong), here are my commandes :

RunOnceEx.cmd

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Configuration des logiciels" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\047 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\MsnMsgs.msi /qn" /f
REGEDIT /S messengeroff.reg

REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Windows Media Player 10" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\WMP10\MP10Setup.exe /q:A /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore\"" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\075 /VE /D "WinRAR 3.40 Fr" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Winrar\Winrarfr.exe /s /W" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\085 /VE /D "Nettoyage et Redemarrer" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\085 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\cleanup.cmd" /f

EXIT

messengeroff.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

;remove MSN Messenger from start-up
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MsnMsgr"=-

RunOnceEx.cmd and messengeroff.reg are in the same root (place).

messengeroff.reg must be after when MSN Messenger 6.2 was intalled.

Perhaps i do it wrong way.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Try if this works...

REG ADD %KEY%\047 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\MsnMsgs.msi /qn" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\048 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Messenger62\messengeroff.reg" /f

messengeroff.reg is in \Install\Messenger62\

Cheers,

McoreD

The code used to apply the regtweak was wrong... Please correct the relevant section. Corrected code is:

REG ADD %KEY%\047 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\MsnMsgs.msi /qn" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\047 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\messengeroff.reg" /f

MessengerOff.reg must be in the same folder as the MSI (%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\) - and gets applied AFTER the MSN messenger installs. The above corrected code should work now. Tell us how it goes!

hehe... McoreD you are quick! (posting just a few seconds before... lol)

Hi,

speaking of the AutoRun, is it possible to diselect the:

"Automatically run Messenger when I log on to Windows"

option?

what about other options?

well, of course, this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"msnmsgr"=-

answers my question...

but, how can I set the user account (email & password)?
