Using the runonce option during install

NTFSD
1

I need to run an .exe stored on the local harddrive upon reboot of the
machine. How does the OS understand to run the .exe on the local
harddrive
after sign on by the user.

I know about the
“HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce” and
“HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx”
registry key.

What’s the difference between the two?
What do you put in either registry key to run the .exe on the local
harddrive?

I looked in the DDK & SDK and found no real documentation on how to use.

Thanks In Advance,
Joe

Search for RunOnceEx in the knowledge base. By the way, this question would
be more appropriate in the ntdev newsgroup.
