From: OlivierT on 20 Apr 2010 11:55 Thank you for your responses but it doesn't work with my win 2008 R2. I create Run key under HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows. In Run Key, I create 2 entries with REG_SZ named a and b. I tryed to execute the command by the Run menu and it works fine. When I logoff and login again, the command doesn't lunched.

You shouldn't need to create the Run key itself - it should already be there under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion - was it not there already? -- Chris M. > "Ace Fekay [MVP - Directory Services]" wrote: > >> On Mon, 19 Apr 2010 11:36:42 -0600, "Dave Patrick" >> <DSPatrick(a)nospam.gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Ace, >>> >>> HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT subkey is not for new users.

From: Ace Fekay [MVP - Directory Services] on 20 Apr 2010 13:51 I agree with Chris. You do not create that key. The system creates it for the currently logged on user account. You stated in created it in this location. HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows It should exist in: HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run But it looks like it was just a typo, since you stated the correct path in your original post. Are there any errors in the Event logs?

Hi, No, the key wasn't already created. I had to create it myself...
