Preventing Fences to Run For New Users

from Stardock Forums

Hello to everyone!

I am using my computer in a multi-user environment. When a new user logs on to my computer, she initially sees the Fences setup. I would like to prevent it. I removed Fences from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run in my registry, but it did not help. What can you recommend?

Best regards,

Igor Gushchin.

I found a workaround for this issue. 

I figured out that the checkmark "Disable Fences" in the control panel creates a REG_DWORD value 1 called "Disabled" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Fences. I loaded the registry hive for the default user and created the same "Disabled" value. I used the following instruction: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/146050.

Now when a new user logs to my computer, she does not see Fences welcome screen, but she can enable Fences in the control panel.
