How to prevent (sidebar.exe) Gadgets to add itself to the Windows startup (autorun) automatically?

I would like to know if there is a way to prevent the application from Gadgets to auto-ajouter itself to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. I have the version Windows 7 RC build 7100.
My motivation is trying to reduce to a minimum the use of system resources when I am running on battery power. Selectively, I removed some programs from running at startup and added a new task in the Task Scheduler to run a script at startup that runs applications only if the current alternative. The only thing that I'm not able to set up this way is sidebar.exe (and I have a lot of heavy gadgets on the use of system resources) because it always adds itself to this automatic launch location every time I start it manually.

Well, it seems I have to use taskkill after all. Or try to hack sidebar.exe to remove the (not sure if it's legal) procedure. Or prevent the modification of the registry key using a package of security software.
Thanks for looking into this.

  • How to prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

    On site oldnavyweekly.com , there is a .swf which prevents users to open multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site and try to open it again in another window, it will not load. Cannot open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?

    My analysis, that is NOT:
    1. cookies - the block always takes place if you try to open it in Internet Explorer and also try to open it in Firefox at the same time.
    2 flash Cookies - the block always takes place if I disable flash cookies.
    3 IP Based Block - you are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outgoing IP address. From my analysis, their server does not help in the block at all.

    It seems as if their .swf creates a sort of object throughout the global system which can be detected in other instances of the application on the same computer. How did they implement this?

    Thank you!

  • How to add items to the Windows Explorer right-click menu drop-down?

    Sometimes it would be nice to be able to add a shortcut to a program that shows when you right click on a file in Windows Explorer.  Is it possible manually?  And can we remove others that we never use as well by the same method?

    You can, to a limited extent.  And it's the registry changes, so I would recommend caution.  There are also a few small programs that change the menu.

    http://vlaurie.com/right-click/Customize-context-menu.html

    A simple way, I used is to create shortcuts custom in the SendTo context menu folder.  With which you can perform most any function, such as send a text file to open with MS Word or send any type of image to open it with any number of image viewers.

    You can access the SendTo file by entering shell: sendto in the navigation bar of the Explorer, or simply run and the shell: sendto

  • How we prevent frim backlight dimming (maybe crazy Blackberry that the interaction that happened?)

    I have an app that for long periods of time the user watches the screen,

    But even I put the backlight for the maximum wait time, it's not enuff.

    Is there a way to prevent the screen from dimming or is there a work-around, like cheating the blackberry into thinking that the entry that's happened?

    I guess you can get slowed down information DeviceInfo, but this does not dimming of light... I thought to repeat a call to activate the backlight all 255 seconds... but is it necessary to have a thread that loop just never do this?

    My apologies, I missed that.

    If I was going to this, I would touch reset in an RealTimeClockListener interface.  This is called every minute, so you don't need to have your own Thread.

    But before coming to the RealTimeClockListener to do, I'll make sure he has the permission to do so, using ApplicationPermissions.  I recommend that you don't ask for permission on update() RealTimeClockListener code, but use

    UiApplication.getUiApplication () .invokeLater (...);

    (not invokeAndWait to seize the eventLock, as he will pick up this treatment) to initiate the treatment that he asked.

    That seems like a better approach?

  • How to prevent a TCP connection that is closed when the VI who opened it terminated.

    Hello everyone.

    I'm developing an application based on the servers and clients communicate through TCP in LabVIEW 2012.

    When the Server/client opens a TCP connection, it starts an asynchronosly running "Connection Manager", to which connection reference that takes so all communication happening. It all works very well.

    -J' have a situation where a client connection manager can be informed of another 'new' server. I would like to open the connection (to see if it is still valid) and then pass this reference of connection to the main client code to spawn a new connection manager. This avoids lock me up the Client code main with an ish timeout if the 'new' server does not really accept connections.

    The problem is that if the connection manager that opens the connection to the 'new' server is stopped, then it seems to destroy the reference he opened. This means that the other connection manager that has been happily character with the 'new' server has closed TCP communications (I get an error code 1 on an entry).

    I created an example to illustrate the issue which should be used as follows:

    1 run server.vi - he will listen for a connection on the specified port on his comics.

    2. run Launcher.vi CH - it will open a connection to the server and pass the TCP reference to an instance of connection Handler.vi, which he started.

    3. the connection manager needs to send data to the server

    4. stop the Launcher.vi CH

    5. the will of Handler.vi connection error.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    See you soon

    John

    Do not perform the opening and closing of the TCP connection in Subvi. Do this to master VI.

  • Can't see taskbar, except if I close all the windows, but hide automatically is not checked - how to fix this?

    It happened all of a sudden during a browsing session. Also, I do not see the albums "open windows" list unless I have point to him. "Auto-hide taskbar" is not checked. I tried to stop and do a restart, but nothing has changed. The two bars are always top in IE but not in Firefox more. It is very annoying. I would like to know how to solve this problem, and also how it could have happened, so I don't do it again! Thanks in advance.

    Firefox is stuck in mode full screen? The F11 function key switches between regular views and full screen modes.

    Firefox window is an irrational dimension in normal mode, it can indicate a corruption of the file that stores the information of location/size of window. The usual medicine is to rename this file and let Firefox restart by using the default dimensions. Here's how:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    As this process goes probably most toolbars, you can use one of the following methods to display the toolbar list and activate the desired bars it:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.
