situation in Windows NT, the content of the Start menu for all
users is merged with the one for a particular user, so it's not
possible to tell by looking at the Start menu which profile a
particular entry belongs to. You can modify these entries in
Windows Explorer by navigating to %AllUsersProfile% \Start
Menu\Programs\Startup.
• Run key in the registry (current user). The
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key
contains a value for each program to be run whenever you log
on. The name of each REG_SZ value in the Run key represents
the "friendly" name of the program, and the data specifies the
name of the executable and any command-line options.
• Run key in the registry (all users). The
HKLM\Software\Microsoft \Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key
contains a value for each program to be run whenever anyone
logs on. The format of the values is the same as for the
comparable HKCU key.
• RunOnce key (all users). The
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
key contains the names of programs that will run at startup the
next time anyone logs on. When the programs run, their values
are automatically deleted from the RunOnce key so that they
don't run again. The format of the values is the same as for the
Run key.
• RunOnce key (current user). The HKCU\
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \RunOnce key is
structured just like its counterpart under HKLM, and it works
the same way except that it affects only the current user.
• Your Scheduled Tasks folder. You can use Scheduled Tasks
to specify per-user
startup tasks (as well as tasks that occur on other kinds of
schedules).
• An administrator's Scheduled Tasks folder. A user who has
administrative privileges for your computer can use Scheduled
Tasks to set up a startup task for your user account. By default,
that task will not be listed in your own Scheduled Tasks folder.
• Another user's Scheduled Tasks folder. Strange as it might
seem, users who do not have administrative privileges for your
computer can still schedule tasks that will run when you log on.
Such tasks run as background processes only.
