Problem with "Run Input Director on Startup"

[mmic...@gmail.com]

Hi I run the install with my administrator account, make sure that
"Run Input Director on Startup" is checked. I restart the pc, log on
as a different user and Input Director doesn't automatically start up
on start up. I have to open up the app and re-check the box.

It only happens for the first time that a user logs in. After the
firs time, it's fine. Is there anyway to set it so that I don't have
to have each individual user go through this setup? I checked the
registry and the Startupmode was set to 1 even with the box not
checked. Am I missing something? Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks for your help in advance :)

Hi Marcel,

The "Run on Startup" flag is configured at a user-level rather than a
machine.

Shane,

 

 

Thanks again for the response.  Could you possibly send me the registry entry?

Marcel,

Start a text editor (such as notepad) and copy the following into it:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"InputDirector"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Input Director\\InputDirector.exe
\" /hide"


Save the file as localmachinestartup.reg

If you now double-click on the file, Windows should ask you whether
you want to import the registry entries. Say yes and that should be
it. I would recommend unchecking the "Run Input Director on Startup"
option in Input Director (do this for every user on the system that
has this checkbox ticked).

If you didn't install Input Director into C:\Program Files\Input
Director, you need to edit the line in the file so that it points to
your install location.

Let me know if this doesn't make sense or doesn't work.

Regs,

Shane.
