disabling stuff for different users

[bigbadhenchman]

When setting up different users, if I want to disable certain things I don't need, can I do this on a UZr by User basis.

Becasue I use my compter as well for music production, I want to have a progile in which I can disable a bunch of stuff from starting when I boot up, witout affecting other users.

There are several locations that links to programs to start with windows reside. Some only load up for the specific user, and others load up for ALL users.

Anything you want to ALLWAYS start up like Anti-Virus, Firewall, etc either needs to reside in the All Users startup folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup), or in a startup registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run).

Stuff that you only want to start up for individual users need to go either in their personal startup folder (C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup), or in a startup registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER while the user you wish to have that program start for is logged in (like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run)


Put entries wherever you want them to start up and it should work fine. The hard part is writing down the command used to start the program if you're moving one that's in the registry under the wrong startup type.
