i have this thing with adobe photo downloader, i don't want it
auto-loading - easily fixed, same as i did with hp image monitor
but i still want it available, so put it on the task bar on the left,
when i'm using the printer for functions that i want all the extras, i
click and it loads into the notification area just like it would on
startup befotre i changed it, and i can exit anytime
are you with me so far ? :)
ok, adobe does the same thing, except it writes itself into startup
when it executes
i've found a vbs script that i think will do it, but i don't know vbs,
really
somebody check it for me please ?
i think the only thing i need to change is
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Adobe
Photo Downloader"
has to be HKLM etc
and, um, i can write this into a bat/pif to execute C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Photoshop Album Starter Edition\3.0\Apps\apdproxy.exe to
load that, and then a line to run the reg edit directly after by a
direct command prompt call to the script file ?
so the bat would be :
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Album Starter
Edition\3.0\Apps\apdproxy.exe
call killapdproxystartup.vbs
vbs code reads :
'vmb's remover for auto-insert on startup line by photoshop downloader
execution
'Based on fixes by Doug Knox and Kelly Theriot. original file
xp_pastitems.vbs
'designed to remove past items icon list in notification tray for
volume icon problem
Message = "we're about to alter the registry" & vbCR
Message = Message & "based on a vbs script by Doug Knox and Kelly
Theriot" & vbCR
Message = Message & "edited by -<VMB>- -restarting Windows shell now
to run vbs" & vbCR
Message = Message & "This will not harm your system." & vbCR & vbCR
Message = Message & "Continue?"
X = MsgBox(Message, vbYesNo, "Notice")
If X = 6 Then
On Error Resume Next
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.RegDelete
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Adobe
Photo Downloader"
Set WshShell = Nothing
Next
MsgBox "Finished." & vbcr & vbcr & "thanx Doug Knox and Kelly Theriot",
4096, "-<VMB>-"
Else
MsgBox "No changes were made to your system." & vbcr & vbcr & "thanx
Doug Knox and Kelly Theriot -<VMB>-", 4096, "User Cancelled"
End If
i have some programming, but not this - there's probably something
that doesn't make sense, but will it work ?
btw, if you want the original code for the past items thing, i can
post that -
i was going to so you could see what i did, but i figured to keep it
concise
thanx !
