We help IT Professionals succeed at work.
Get Started
stopping 1 program that starts up via registry hklm...run
We have a certain program that's set to start when logging on, via HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
This is fine, however I don't want it to start when we logon as a certain user that our admins use for administration. How can I prevent this.
I can use group policy to not process legacy run list, but I only want it to not run 1 of the programs listed.
I can move the startup to HKCU, but I don't want to alter the program.
So far the best solution is for me to change the security on the exe and deny that user rights to it.
Is there a better way?
