Hi,
I'm using Compact Flash Kingston Elite Pro 1Gb and Nova-7896R board with
Pentium III CPU - so, always Flash is coming as a removable device and as I
think because of that, there is no HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Windows->RUN
key - if I create it - after restart of computer it gone, so...
1) Are there any possibility to make so, that computer will understand flash
as nonremovable?
2) Are there any other possibilities to setup registry so, that I could run
some necessary application at start-up (XPE image should be really small -
now only command shell there)?
Regards,
Oleg

No connections between that key and removable devices.

You will have to mark the flash car as nonremovable with a manufacturer utility. Check with your device supplier to get more
details.

Use the same key you mentioned above.. Well, not exactly the same but a bit corrected:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Your device image may be running a Write Filter (EWF or else) so please make sure to *commit* all the changes you make.
 
I recently had a similar experience when attempting to create a small
command line image for an El Torito bootable CD, and I found that if I
used the RunOnce Key it worked, even though the Run key didn't.
Apparently some component was missing in my very small image that
brings in the Run Key, but the RunOnce behavior was intact.

So,

1) Add your Run Command to
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
2) Execute ewfmgr c: -commit
