Submitted by Srikanth on Wednesday, 27 August 20089 Comments

This hack allows you to run a program at startup only once.This hack also avoids the need of startup folder and the autorun is configured in the registry itself.In this hack the specified program runs only once at startup (Right after the first boot of configuration) and will not continue to run for the subsequent startups.Here’s the hack .If you need to run the program at startup everytime then refer the followint link: Run Program At Startup Without Using Startup Folder

1. Goto Run (Win+R)

2.Type “regedit” (without quotes) in the run dialogue box.

3. In the registry editor navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

4. Create the key Runonce
(The [Runonce] Key you create will remain in the registry for use with a new string value)

5.
Create Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value]
Value Name: [Enter the Name of Program Executable]
Value Data: [Enter the Path to the Program Executable]

6. Exit Registry and Reboot

Hi,

Can u tell me how to delete a software from the registry after its uninstallation so that u can completely delete it without a trace?

@ RVM.

No it’s not possible to delete the traces of a software from registry since the entries are encrypted.
