Do not process the legacy run list

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows 2000

Location: User Configuration\System\Logon\


Description:
Ignores the customized run list.

You can create a customized list of additional programs and documents that the system starts automatically when it runs on Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 and earlier. These programs are added to the standard run list of programs and services that the system starts.

If you enable this setting, the system ignores the run list for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

If you disable or do not configure this setting, Windows 2000 adds any customized run list configured for Windows NT 4.0 and earlier to its run list.n\nThis setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both policies are configured, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration.

Note

The customized run lists for Windows NT 4.0 and earlier are stored in the registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Run. They can be configured by using the "Run" setting in System Policy Editor for Windows NT 4.0 and earlier.

Also, see the "Do not process the run once list" setting.
