ilovetorrents Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I've been using uTorrent for the past year or so, but with the new version, uTorrent pops up when the PC starts up. I've tried the regedit fix, but after each reboot, the "/minimized" line disappears, and uTorrent pops up at the next startup.Incidentally, I have TWO uTorrent entries in my registry, I tried "fixing" both, no go. I tried fixing one and deleting the other (no go) and deleting one and fixing the other, but still no luck. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Is this with 1.7.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Norton Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yeah, it is a bug, thanks for reporting it.(It has to do with that uTorrent now enforces the run-on-startup regkey every run and the comparison on whether to not to overwrite it is a bit too literal and doesn't take into account that the user may have modified it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erafy Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 the bug still isn't fixed with uTorrent 1.7.4 :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rittic Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 It is not fixed in 1.7.5 either.Please someone fix it, I am desperate for a fix. I have my own computer and pay for my own internet, but my stupid family closes utorrent every chance they get! I have been able to hide the utorrent.exe, all shortcuts, system tray icon, and processes in the task-manager (took FOREVER to figure that out). Now utorrent is still not hidden because it POPS UP every freakin time they restart the PC.I have been trying to get it to work for 5 hours with no success.Please Help!

jewelisheaven Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Perhaps you could try setting the startup file to run a shortcut with the /MINIMIZED parameter instead of the EXE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rittic Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I tried that too. No success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Well that's ODD!"Unable to load /MINIMIZED. Cannot find the file specified"Note I was only using that parameter to launch uT.Something is amiss. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Works fine for me (1.7.5 on XP Pro SP2). Are you sure you have the path set correctly and the param outside the quotes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rittic Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Yes this is how I have tried it.It always deletes itself.Don't worry about the svhost thing, I did that so that they couldn't find it in the task manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Okay... Right off the bat, could it be that since you've chosen to 'hide' the program in plain sight by giving it the name of a legitimate Windows process (a lot of trojans do this as well), your security software tags it as a threat and removes it?Try renaming it back and see if the problem persists. If not, then figure out a new name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rittic Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I don't have any security software. I just dl from trusted sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Could you still try renaming it back and see if the problem persists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
