If these entries are missing, will there be runtime error?

Yet another good good article from Vijay…!

Can you or anyone explain in detail the difference between Run, RunOnce & Active Setup ? Why dont we got for HKLM….Run instead of Active Setup in many cases ?

Thanks in advance

Good info VJ, Thank you for the information.

The run once is very much useful to do the configuration changes in user profile on first logon.

In the OS deployment also it is much useful to install the multiple setups/ Drivers. Some of the Drivers cannot be added in SYSPREP process, can be bundled and installed thorugh this Run Once Registry Key option.
