Description
Directs the system to wait for the logon scripts to finish running before it starts the Windows Explorer interface program and creates the desktop.
This entry stores the setting of the Run logon scripts synchronously Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy, Group Policy sets the value to 0. If you set the policy to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry, and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
Value |
Meaning |
|---|---|
0 |
The policy is disabled or not configured. Logon scripts and Windows Explorer are not synchronized, and they can run simultaneously. |
1 |
The policy is enabled. Windows Explorer does not start until the logon scripts have finished running. This setting assures that logon scripts finish processing before the user starts working, but it can delay the appearance of the desktop. |
Change method
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Run logon scripts synchronously Group Policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon).

Note
This entry appears in both the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER subtrees. The entry in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree takes precedence over the entry in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER subtree.
This entry takes precedence over a user setting. If this entry appears in the registry, a policy is in effect, and the system ignores the non-policy-based values of the RunLogonScriptSync entry in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree and the RunLogonScriptSync entry in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER subtree.
