Hi,
...so, the question is; how do I stop programs from running on
some accounts if they are listed just in;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and not in;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You either run a script that checks the username/group membership before
executing the application and put that into the RUN registry area..

Or you don't use that area.

That does not leave me with much of a choice, but it's over my
league (scripting). Still, I would like to know how it's done,
so if you could give me an example of that kinda script or any
links where I might find more info.
 
As a bat file

Runs Notepad if guest is logged in
If "%username%"=="guest" Notepad

Runs Notepad if guest is NOT logged in
If not "%username%"=="guest" Notepad

Quotes are important if the user names might contain spaces.
 
THERE IS ACTUALY A MUCH EASIER WAY

JUST COPY THE KEY INFO FROM LOCAL MACHINE, MICROSOFT, WINDOWS, CURRENT VERSION, RUN, XXXXX

INTO A TEXT FILE THEN DELETE THE REGISTRY ENTRY FOR THOSE PROGRAMS YOU WISH TO RESTRICT AUTO RUN ACCESS TO

THEN GO INTO THE DIFFERENT HKEY LOCAL USER, MICROSOFT, WINDOWS, CURRENT VERSION, RUN, AREAS AND ADD IT IN THE ONES YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO RUN THAT PROGRAM WHEN THEY LOG IN BY PLACING IT IN THAT USERS "RUN"
 
DUDE,
