"Ignores the customized run list.

You can create a customized list of additional programs and documents that the system starts automatically when it runs on Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT Workstation 4.0 and earlier. These programs are added to the standard run list of programs and services that the system starts.

If you enable this setting, the system ignores the run list for Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows XP Professional.

If you disable or do not configure this setting, Windows 2000 adds any customized run list configured for Windows NT 4.0 and earlier to its run list.

This setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both policies are configured, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration.

Note: To create a customized run list by using a policy, use the "Run these applications at startup" setting.

The customized run lists for Windows NT 4.0 and earlier are stored in the registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
un and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
un. They can be configured by using the "Run" setting in System Policy Editor for Windows NT 4.0 and earlier.

Also, see the "Do not process the run once list" setting."
