Autorun in Registry? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi everyone,
Couldn't find this searching:
Is there a RUN entry in the registry that loads programs on startup, like XP?
Or: how do programs get loaded on startup (besides Autostart).
Thanks.
NM

Please have a look:
HKLM/Init

I don't know if there are hooks in the registry that can be used for this, but I do know there's a folder in the Windows folder called StartUp and anything placed in there will run when the device boots up.

Worldmate autolaunch on my Diamond
Hi,
I installed Worldmate from mobimate on my Diamond and the thing always randomly autostarts somehow and I have tried several times to see how to stop this. There is no option to disable it from teh application itself, so was wondering if anyone else has any idea of how to disable this auto start feature?
The autostart is annoying with this app, as it slow down the phone considerably when running.
Many thanks!

last used programs

I was looking all over the internet and of course xda-dev and here but can't what I'm looking for.
this is the case:
I don't want to see the last programs that are used on my wizard. So when I go to start I only wish to see the menu things and programs & settings.
Can anyone tell me if there is a registry tweak for it?
startclean
I believe this is what you are looking for...Unzip and put a shortcut to it in your startup folder.
recent programs
It is a very useful application alltough it is not completely what i want.
this little program erases the recently used programs. the thing is that i don't want to see any of my used programs. In my opinion it should be a registry tweak or something.

O2 Stellar and HTC X button

I'd be grateful if anyone could offer any help with this issue.
I have an O2 branded version of the Kaiser. I have installed various of the cabs for HTC software available on this forum - which is excellent, by the way - and was very glad to find an "X" button solution.
Unfortunately, the device then started to crash whenever I closed a program for the first time and had to soft reset. I got a message saying that there was a problem with the shell.
As it stopped when I uninstalled HTC X Button, I am 99% certain that it was source of my problem. O2 stick a program manager in the system bar. It does not add X button functionality, but it does allow manual closure of a program. It does not appear ion any program list, and cannot be removed or closed itself, so I assume that it is part of the rom (not that I am an expert!)
Can anyone confirm this problem, and/or suggest a (preferably freely available) X button program that does not cause any issues? Alternatively, can the (fairly useless) O2 program be removed or closed without replacing the rom?
you are probably correct that the 2 apps are causing the issue. Have you looked in the \windows\startup folder for the O2 app? Also, there is a registry entry called INIT that does startup of services for the device. I can't remember right now where it's located in the registry. Let me know if you find anything in the startup folder and if not, I'll look up the key for you.
There is a file called O2 Custom in the Startup folder which has the same icon as the manager program I want rid of, but it is only 21b in size, so I assume that it is a shortcut.
Thanks for the suggestion. I would be grateful for some guidance on thew registry, since I am too inexperienced with this stuff to go poking around without very specific instructions!

that startup is probably it. you can try to cut&paste the shortcut to your 'my documents' folder, then reboot, then see if that o2 app is started after reboot. if not, then you found the solution.
I wonder if we are able to do a "corporate" install after hard reset like I used to be able to do with my Universal so it doesn't load all the 02 rubbish
Works like a charm, thanks smittyofdhs. The o2 program manager is gone, and HTC XButton 1.51 has not caused any soft resets so far.
You know, I feel really stupid not realising that removing the shortcut from startup would have done the job. I would have done the equivalent on my desktop or laptop without even thinking about it.
HTC has a new version of their Task Manager (V2.0) that can be found pretty easily by searching this website. The only problem I have with HTC's Task Manager(s) is that while the "X" functionality works in every application, the Task Manager feature seems to work only on the Today screen. Therefore, I have found WkTask to be a very good free task manager which also combines a program launcher.

how to Unload unnecessary tasks

Hello, perhaps anybody can help me.
I just got my XDA Diamond and thanks some genius guys posting here i got the htc rom running now and i am very happy about that.
I tried to find a thread where my folowing question will be answered but i couldn´t find one. If anyone knows about such a thread just send me a link or give me a advice. It´s not my attention to spam around....
I installed the task manager and saw lots of processes running like
operaplel.exe
poutlook.exe
sapsettings.exe
rapicInt
tmail.exe
biotouch.exe
quickgps.exe
SIPGT_app.exe
And I asked myselfe if I can shut down these processes if they arent necessary. Also i don´t know witch are importante and which not, or wich you need for doing what....
f i kill some of them, i´ll get more free ram, and perhaps better speed-performance with longer sandby-battery-time , would that be right????!!!!
I also read about the biotouch.exe that is total unnecessary on the diamond and is just necessary with the cube that the diamond doesn´t have.
Don´t know of that is right or not.
I also tried to find out how to prevent thes processes to autostart.
But there are thousands of entries in the reg. so i could find out anything...
Many Greeting to all
Markus
Ok, I tried to search for example for operaprel.exe in the registry, but i couldn´t find any key in the whole reg.
So there must be a other way to stop the autostart loading of this exe.
The i read about the autostart folder in windows but there istn´t the operaprel.exe...
So could anybody just give me a short advice or a link where this is explained...
I couldn´t find anything that helps me going on...sorry
I also found out that poutlook should better keep on running because its the mail client and tmail is the account manager.
And SAPSettings stands for SIM ACCESS PROFILE and is a Bluetooth Data transfer Protokol, so i´ll better keep it running...
1. Look into \Windows\StartUp folder. Sounds like it is the Autostart directory for WM. There is an item named HTCStartup. It could be the thing which launches opera loader and other things. I haven't tried removing it though. You can kill off opera loader using some process manager and everything will work fine.
2. tmail can be closed by launching Messagages via Start then closing it. Atleast for me it does close.
Hi i tried that, but i didn´t write down all the files that are loaded when i keep this files in the "windows/autostart/" folder.
But it seems that it is more free memory avriable.
I´m gonna test it today again and i hope it worked good.
But the operaprel.exe and some other files starts also...
But tanks alot for your advise!

Accessing Add/Remove appz without going to settings (WM Settings screen is crashing)

How would I go through with accessing to remove MS Voice Command from the kaiser without opening the main settings window. I installed a few applications (i.e., TouchFlo 2, Youtube, HTC Audio Manager, PTTfix and MS Voice Command 1.6) on my friends Kaiser running WM6.1. All of these programs work fine on mine (WM 6.0), but now on his the phone reboots everytime you click on settings int he start menu. The only thing I can guess thats causing it is MS Voice Command since it creates an Icon in the Settings window.
I need to either A) find a way to manually remove the icon maybe...if that could work, or B) manually find a way to uninstall voice command.
I am hoping I can fix it without him having to do a hard reset on the phone losing all his stuff.
Thanks.

You can uninstall software with SKTools. Download a trial version from Handango and try it. If you like it, buy it! My guess is you will probably have to do a hard reset anyway to clean up that mess.
Ill do that. I'll use SKtools on his phone to remove MS Voice Command next week.
Has anyone else had this problem? It would be great for him to have Voice Command. He's been drooling over the feature on mine so long. Now that he finally has a kaiser, he can't use it because it doesn't want to work on his. No fun.
Another easy way would be to use Activesync Add/Remove Programs feature on a connected computer
I don't think he has access to a computer but I will keep that one in mind. We hadn't even had a chance to use the sktools option yet since he got sick so I haven't seen him around in a bit.
I really wish the program would have worked :/ I might try reinstalling it again ontop of itself....could do the trick. Maybe the program corrupted itself the first time some how.
version
this happend to me before, it was the version msvc i was had installed i dont remember which version though.

This is, this is 1.6 and there is nothing newer
You could also simply create a shortcut/link that goes directly to the Add/Remove Programs settings screen.
Try putting this code in a .lnk file:
Code:
Settings>System>Remove Programs = 21#ctlpnl cplmain.cp,10
It will allow you to bypass the main Settings screen that crashes.

Remove programs from startup/autostart?

Hi
My phone takes like 3 minutes to be able to be used when starting it.
I know and think there are some autostart applications during bootup.
Where can I modify the startup applications?
I already checked Windows\Autostart but I can't find the applications I know should be there.
TomTom has something at bootup but there's nothing in Windows\Autostart
Is there any registry items I can check?

Windows\Startup
That folder is empty...
No registry entries?
Ofcourse it takes some time to load everything (TF3D for example) before you can start use the phone without serious lag. It's not a computer with 3ghz processor you know. Try install Advanced Taskmanager and kill some processes.
Ofcourse i'm aware of that. But TomTom loads at startup and has an icon just under the startmenu. Things like that I want to remove from startup...
Try sk tools
it has an option for startup programs...
