Startup Links Not Removing

[Dahi]

ieaccess=off in [Components] doesnt uninstall IE, it just disables the shortcuts according to Ref.chm:

IEAccess

Value: On | Off

Default: On

Installs visible entry points (shortcuts) to Internet Explorer.

This entry does not remove any Windows code, including any Internet Explorer code, other than these shortcuts. Various Windows components and third-party applications rely upon Internet Explorer code.

Chimborazo pointed out here that you can also turn on and off shortcuts with the following code in a batch file:

%systemroot%\system32\shmgrate OCInstallHideIE 
%systemroot%\system32\shmgrate OCInstallHideOE

or

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OCInstall HideOE

Here Is A SFX That Will Run Also

Edited January 4, 2006 by gunsmokingman

[durex]

Just thought Id let you guys know, you will never remove these with your cleanup.cmd or anything else for that matter which is called in your runonceex, regardless of the method you use. The problem is these shortcuts are created at the time the desktop is drawn... which occurs after runonceex.

The only way you can get around this is by placing a script in your 'Startup' start menu folder to delete these items... anything in the startup folder is launched after the desktop is drawn. Heres the batch file I use... I dont remove these shortcuts, but I do move them to another start menu folder.. just modify it to delete instead of move...

CMDOW @ /HID
@echo off
set AUStart=%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs
set UserStart=%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs

MOVE /Y "%UserStart%\Internet Explorer.lnk" "%AUStart%\Internet"
MOVE /Y "%UserStart%\Outlook Express.lnk" "%AUStart%\Internet"

DEL /Q /F "%AUStart%\Startup\cleanup2.cmd"

EXIT

[gunsmokingman]

Anything in the %AllUsersProfile% get removed

Then Expalin How This Alway Works For Me Than

fso.DeleteFile( AP & "\Desktop\Java Web Start.lnk")
fso.DeleteFile( AP & "\Desktop\Nero StartSmart.lnk")
fso.DeleteFile( AP & "\Desktop\Mozilla.lnk")
fso.DeleteFile( AP & "\Start Menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk")
fso.DeleteFile( AP & "\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk")
fso.DeleteFolder( SD & "Drivers")
fso.DeleteFolder( SD & "Install")
fso.DeleteFile( SD & "GmanSilentCUP.VBS")

and i call it from my runonceex.cmd

REG ADD %KEY%\090 /VE /D "Wrar320ce" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\090 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%Apps\Ua090\WinRar.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\170 /VE /D "Preparing Final Clean up ..." /f
REG ADD %KEY%\170 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%Apps\SilentUaC.exe" /f

Those Are Always Gone

[durex]

because youre not trying to remove internet explorer or outlook express.. these 2 icons are created at the time your desktop is drawn... the rest are already in place.. which is why you have no problem removing them at the runonceex stage.

[gunsmokingman]

Thanks For Clearing That Up

[durex]

NP!

Hello Men

I have the same problem, there is no way to remove the shortcut of the windows media player in the quick launch bar, i have tried a lot of methods but without success.

A simple question

@durex: If i move the entry to the startup it will be there.

There is another method to do it?

for example, to create another cleanup2.cmd which it execute during the next login. Where must i put it?

Any suggestions please.

Thanks

[gunsmokingman]

At the end of the RunonceEx.cmd

add this as the last cmd

REG ADD %KEY%\170 /VE /D "Preparing Final Clean up ..." /f
REG ADD %KEY%\170 /VE /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Cleanup.cmd" /f

Cleanup.cmd

ECHO OFF

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY%\425 /VE /D "Final Clean Up" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\425 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\WHATEVER YOU HAVE NAME IT " /f

Hi Men, here is my RunOnceEx (only some entries in order to be shorter)

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Instalando Aplicaciones" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\024 /VE /D "Google Toolbar" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\024 /V 1 / D "%SystemDrive%\install\Google.Toolbar\GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /q /d" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Importando Datos de Registro" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\RegTweaks.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\026 /VE /D "Limpiando y Reiniciando" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\026 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\CleanUp.cmd" /f
Exit

And Here is my Cleanup.cmd

cmdow @ /HID
shutdown.exe -r -f -t 120 -c "Windows XP se reiniciara en un minuto para actualizarse, asi que en breves momentos lo tendras todo instalado"
net user aspnet /delete

DEL /Q "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Reproductor de Windows Media.lnk"

RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\drivers\"
RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\install\"
EXIT

And my cleanup2.cmd

cmdow @ /HID
DEL /Q "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Reproductor de Windows Media.lnk"
RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\CleanUp\"
EXIT

So you tell me that i must put another entry at the end of the RunOnceEx:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Instalando Aplicaciones" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\024 /VE /D "Google Toolbar" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\024 /V 1 / D "%SystemDrive%\install\Google.Toolbar\GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /q /d" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Importando Datos de Registro" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\RegTweaks.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\026 /VE /D "Limpiando y Reiniciando" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\026 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\CleanUp.cmd" /f

[b]REG ADD %KEY%\027 /VE /D "Limpiando y Reiniciando" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\027 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Cleanup\CleanUp2.cmd" /f[/b]
Exit

My question, how will call it (cleanup2.cmd) if the RunOnceEx at first must call CleanUp.cmd and reboot??

[gunsmokingman]

You Only Need 1 Entry At The End Of The RunOnceEx.cmd

After you reboot the computer, And When It Restarts, than it will perform the final cleanup .

Then It Will Remove Media Player Outlook Explorer Shortcuts and Remove Any Other Things You Want To Remove.

[Major]

It doesn´t work.

here is my RunOnceEx:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Instalando Aplicaciones" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\024 /VE /D "Google Toolbar" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\024 /V 1 / D "%SystemDrive%\install\Google.Toolbar\GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /q /d" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Importando Datos de Registro" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\RegTweaks.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\026 /VE /D "Limpiando y Reiniciando" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\026 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\CleanUp.cmd" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\026 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Cleanup\CleanUp2.cmd" /f
Exit

and here is my cleanup.cmd

cmdow @ /HID
shutdown.exe -r -f -t 120 -c "Windows XP se reiniciara en un minuto para actualizarse, asi que en breves momentos lo tendras todo instalado"
net user aspnet /delete

DEL /Q "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Reproductor de Windows Media.lnk"

RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\drivers\"
RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\install\"
EXIT

And here is my cleanup2.cmd

cmdow @ /HID
DEL /Q "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Reproductor de Windows Media.lnk"
RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\CleanUp\"
EXIT

CleanUp2.cmd seems to have been done at the time when the computer was in the 120 seconds shutdown. not after the reboot, i think.

[Major]

I have tried differents methods but withou success

Can i put the cleanup2.cmd in the cmdlines.txt, it will work?

[COMMANDS]

"RunOnceEx.cmd"

"\CleanUP\CleanUp2.cmd"

I want to execute Cleanup2.cmd in the second reboot, after finishing execute Runonceex.cmd and Cleanup.cmd in order to remove windows player from quick launch, i couldnt remove it anyway.

Thanks

[durex]

As I mentioned before, these shortcuts are created at the time you desktop is drawn.. which is after runonceex runs and far after cmdlines.txt is executed. What you need to do is place your cleanup2.cmd in the startup folder of your start menu. Anything in this folder will be executed after the desktop starts to load.

I promise you once you move that cmd into this folder your problems will be fixed. Only thing to note is, youll want to add a line to have the script delete itself after its run.. otherwise it will run every time you boot up your pc. For example:

DEL /Q %ALLUSERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\cleanup2.cmd

Assuming of course cleanup2.cmd is located here.

Hope this helps clear things up!
