Hello,<br />
<br />
the processes in &quot;Run&quot; will not start when you log in via telnet, it's by design...<br />
<br />
if you want to start a custom program after someone logs on to telnet server, here is the solution: <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787871%28v=ws.10%29.aspx" rel="ugc">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787871%28v=ws.10%29.aspx</a><br />
<br />
btw, telnet is not secure at all... you may want to use powershell remoting if you want to perform remote administration, etc...: In PowerShell: <i>Enter-PSSession MyComputer</i>

<div>
So, this was a change from XP to Win7? &nbsp;I do have it working in an XP scenario. &nbsp;Further, shouldn't anything in that key run as soon as the system starts regardless of anyone logging in? &nbsp;That's the point of it being in HKLM instead of HKCU, right?
</div>


<div>
I don't know exactly how Windows XP handles theses keys but here is what Microsoft says:<br />

<blockquote>
Run keys cause programs to automatically run each time that a <b>user logs on</b>.

<a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/314866" rel="ugc nofollow">https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/314866</a><br />
<br />
or: <br />

<blockquote>
The Run key is processed after every logon, either by the Explorer <b>shell</b>, if it is present
</blockquote>

<br />
if you want, you can create a startup script by GPO: <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779329%28v=ws.10%29.aspx" rel="ugc">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779329%28v=ws.10%29.aspx</a><br />
<br />
or create a scheduled task that runs &quot;At startup&quot;:<br />

I saw that. &nbsp;However, I also saw the following:<br />
<br />
From: <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee851671.aspx" rel="ugc">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee851671.aspx</a><br />
<br />
Run key (machine) Programs listed in the registry’s HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wi<wbr />ndows\Curr<wbr />entVersion<wbr />\Run key are available at startup to all users.<br />
<br />
Run key (user) Programs listed in the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Wi<wbr />ndows\Curr<wbr />entVersion<wbr />\Run key run when the current user logs on. A similar subkey, HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Wi<wbr />ndows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\<wbr />Run, can also be used.<br />
<br />
I may try some of the other methods you have mentioned as well but I am still a little miffed that Microsoft is not being consistent.

<div>
OK, I'm going to give some of the other options a shot and let you know.

I am trying to run a process at system startup. &nbsp;I put an entry in the registry key<br />
<br />
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wi<wbr />ndows\Curr<wbr />entVersion<wbr />\Run<br />
<br />
If I login via the console and GUI, I can see the process running. &nbsp;If I login via telnet, the process is not running. &nbsp;It is not just hidden because, if I login via the GUI and have a concurrent session in telnet, I can see the application.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any insight as to why this would be?<br />
