Autostart doesn't work anymore (and corresponding registry keys as well)

[Tim Gorgs]

Hi all,

I've got a strange problem on a Windows 2000 system (all servicepacks
and hotfixes installed). There are a couple of entries under the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Key,
and *none* of these programs is started when I log on. There are no
error messages, and the eventlog doesn't show any problems as well.
Never had such a problem before, and I really don't know what might be
wrong here.

As a test I tried to put some programs into the Startmenu-Autorun, and
the same thing happens here too.

The paths to the files etc. are definately correct, and they work on a
couple of thousand systems in our network.

Any help would be very appreciated as I don't have the slightest clue
what might be causing these problems.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Hi,
First,you have to make sure of that the problem is related to the machine or
only to the user.(probably to the machine)

Scan policies, there is one to disable startup sequence, RUN, RUNSERVICES
and Startup.

Tim,
Have you found a solution to your autorun problem. I have a similiar
problem. One thing that may be related is that I installed Photodex software
then uninstalled it . It appears the problem began at this point. I checked
all registry solutions to no avail.
