So I guess this is why it's not running for me [;-) Thanks for the input so far though, hopefully I figure this out.

This is the default information used for all NEW user accounts created on a system." Larry, that statement is incorrect. The .DEFAULT entry under HKEY_USERS is used only when no user is logged on. If you wanted to put a registry key for all NEW user profiles you would have to perform these steps: 1. Run Regedt32.exe 2. Load Hive "%userprofile%\..\default user\NTUSER.DAT" 3. Create the necessary Key(s) 4. Unload Hive loaded on step 2 http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/en-us/regentry/69674.as p Scott Saraga -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 3:25 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: OT: The RunOnce key I believe you're looking for the .DEFAULT entry under HKEY_USERS.

It doesn't need to run each time, just the one time to set one setting on a program that has settings set in the HKCU\Software\... area.
