Repair IE7 – Run Once Problems

Introduction: yesterday I was hit with this “Run Once Problems”. It made me very angry, as I couldn’t use “Internet Explorer” to update my notebook – security – patches and drivers. So, I decided to take action and repair this crazy error…

Part A: Backing up registry library.
——————————————-
1.] Before making any changes to your registry library, you’ll need to make a backup of your registries.

a.] Click on Start >> Run >> Type: Regedit
b.] Export the ‘registry’ as “RunOnceRepair” by clicking on File, Export, and typing “RunOnceRepair”.
But, make sure ‘All’ is selected under “Export range’ and click Save.
c.] Use Notepad++ / Notepad and paste theses codes into Notepad.

—Copy Source Code—

'Version: 21.1a
'Revision: 12 Build 6

'----------------------------------
Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'----------------------------------
'Disable RunOnce on Internet Explorer 7
WSHShell.Regwrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceHasShown", "1", "REG_DWORD"
WSHShell.Regwrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceComplete", "1", "REG_DWORD"

—End Source Code—

2.] Save the file as “IERunOnceFix.vbs” by clicking on File, Save As, and typing “IERunOnceFix.vbs”.
But, don’t forget to set it as “All File” types, under “ANSI” encoding.

3.] Exit Notepad and execute the script. After that, just reboot your computer and the problem should be solved.

Alternative: if you don’t want to use VBScripts, you can use this registry code.
But, it’s up to you…

—Copy Source Code—

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"RunOnceHasShown"=dword:00000001
"RunOnceComplete"=dword:00000001

—End Source Code—
