Restore Active Desktop

The MRU silent utility that is loaded during startup seems to be causing an Active Restore Desktop (the white screen with no desktop settings) problem to occur rather often.

I disables it via MSCONFIG and it did in fact go away.

What is the proper way to remove this from startup in the registry, or is there a fix?

 

If you mean the MRU-Blaster Silent clean shortcut, that was an option in install, and is simply located in your StartUp folder in your Start Menu.

If you mean the MRU-Blaster scheduler, simply open it and select "remove all settings". Then delete the shortcut to the Scheduler from your StartUp folder in your Start Menu.

P.S. I dont know why it would be causing an Active Desktop error, however...

 

Okay I had done that, just wanted to make sure there were no special registry entries or anything.

Thanks.

And by the way, am I unique to this problem? Or has it happened to others?

I mean my system is like ROCK stable, and never had such an occurence.

 

I have never heard of such a problem happening to anyone else. So you seem to be alone there.

Does this happen after running MRU-Blaster normally? Or only after using the scheduler?

TIA.

"C:\Program Files\MRU-Blaster\mrublaster.exe" -silent

So long as that is in STARTUP, it happens, regardless of whether I use MRU or not.

It just may be one of those *loading order* things.

No big deal, problem is smashed none the less.

The -silent thing just makes MRU perform faster so it doesn't have to do a full scan each time

 

Oh also, I don't even use the scheduler.

I just doing cleaning manually by load MRU it self with the ICON.

 

The -silent tag was added so MRU-Blaster could be set up to scan and clean all items silently. In your case, it did this at startup.

It sounds like something else on your system didn't like MRU-Blaster doing this at start-up. At least you can still run it on demand.

In this case, the scheduler might allow you to have MRU-Blaster run itself every "x" seconds, minutes, or hours without the problem you had with the MRU-Blaster silent clean at startup. If you like that extra feature of MRU-Blaster go for it - I'd love to hear whether it works for you or not.

I will most certainly let you know. But for now, I have to take the wife out.

I'll test that theory out tomorrow evening if at all possible.

Thanks, and have a nice day.

 

Well I tried the scheduler at 5 second intervals.

It worked fine while I done that, BUT when I rebooted, it gave me the first BSOD I had even seen in Windows 2000 (over 2 years useage with this system). So apparently some program I am using is conflicting with MRU.

It's really not a big issue with me, as I'll just do it the MANUAL way (which is what I prefer anyway).

But what I can do, if you so desire, is tell you all the programs I use and those in memory (or give you my start up stuff, etc), or what ever you would like to see.

Liek I said, it's no big deal with, but I'll certainly help you if you wish to endever on it.
