O.P. WindowBlinds Won't Load On Startup
I have WindowBlinds installed, but it won't load on startup. I currently have a shortcut to wbload.exe in my Startup folder that I put there myself, but that's not good enough. Does anyone know the registry key/some other way to make it load on startup? Many thanks.

RE: WindowBlinds Won't Load On Startup
Is there an option for it to load on startup? If you go to the Options for WindowsBlinds there should be that as an option. All else fails just reinstall it.

I looked, and the option isn't there.

Also, I've uninstalled & reinstalled many times, and it still isn't working.

You don't need it in the startup I don't think. What version do you have?
So when you go into the config and click 'Apply Skin', when you log out and back into the account, has the skin gone?

That's exactly right. I have version 4.6, but it happened recently with 4.51 as well.

I don't know if I can help you :undecided: I will have to see if I can find anything that would do this in my version. Is v4.6 one you paid for?

Try this..
run > regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
then right click add > new > string value
when its created rename (not needed, but its always good)
then right click or double click on it and in 'value data' put the path to the windowblinds exe.

Thanks, I tried that before you posted and it seems to have worked :)
