Don't you hate it, turn on the computer and you got all this cra# that comes up before you can start using your computer, users had enough of it, and go figure Microsoft put the run commmand in HKCU rather than HKLM

I can't take credit for this one, I added the remove the run item but the balance of the script I found on ChristopherKibble.com, this script loops thru every users of the computer and edit's their HKCU, you run the script once and its fixed for all users on that system.

Did someone test this also?

I use it all the time, works great. Test away.
