Highlight the root key of your mounted hive ('mydefault' or whatever you called it), then click File > unmount hive and confirm. In your new Communicator key, create a DWORD value named 'AutoRunWhenLogonToWindows' and leave it with the default value of 0.Ĩ. Expand your mounted hive under HKEY_USERS, then expand Software\Microsoft. I just put in 'mydefault' but it really doesn't matter, just give it a name so you'll recognize the hive once it is mounted.Ħ. Navigate to your '\documents and settings\default user' and select the ntuser.dat fileĥ. The key name you are prompted for is just descriptive, it'll be what the hive loads under HKEY_USERS as for display purposes and has no bearing on what you're actually doing.

That's why you have to do the following.Ĥ. Keep in mind that despite the name, HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT is *not* the Default User profile, it's actually the LocalSystem profile. The result of that change is that all new user profiles that get created on first login inherit this setting from the Default User profile and Communicator does not autostart. The procedure to do this for XP/2003 is below, I have not tested on Vista/2008/Win7.

What I did to handle the latter is to load the Default User registry hive and add the Communicator\AutoRunWhenLogonToWindows key and value (I had to create the Communicator key, then create the DWORD value in it). As stated, Jeff's proposed solution of creating a custom GPO to stamp HKCU works for existing users but not users signing in for the first time (new profile creation). In my case the situation was an app mode terminal server that we didn't want Communicator autostarting on. I know some of the teams have still been dealing with Covid issues, but for the most part I think its been a good season for College Basketball.I know this is an old thread, but I was needing to accomplish roughly the same thing and figured out the missing piece so I wanted to add it for future readers who find this through a search engine :-) Well its that time of the year again, Its March Madness.
