Is your Internet Explorer 7 stuck on the RunOnce page?

January 7, 2008 by Ian Brown 1 Comment

Does your Internet Explorer keep looping back to the RunOnce page every time you try to set its search engine settings? A quick change in the registry will fix it.

Here’s the code if you want to make the registry patch yourself:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

Or, just download it from here. Remember to backup your registry first, before you run the patch. Also, make sure you change your homepage if it does not fix it.
