Note
This entry also appears in the Winlogon subkey in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (see RunLogonScriptSync (HKLM) ). The value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE applies to all users. The value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER is configured separately for each user.
This entry can be superceded by Group Policy settings included in Windows 2000. While the Run logon scripts synchronously Group Policy is enabled (in the Computer Configuration or User Configuration policy folders), the system ignores this entry. The Run logon scripts synchronously setting is stored in the values of RunLogonScriptSync in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and of RunLogonScriptSync in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Windows 2000 does not add this entry to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits the registry.
