This setting lets you disable the shift key during the boot up of the system so that the startup programs are not disturbed.
Level: Recommended For Experts Only
Description:
Windows loads and executes startup programs during booting up of the system. If you press the shift key during this time, windows just bypasses those programs. This skipping of startup programs can be avoided through some registry settings. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey \currentversion\winlogon is not present, create it as explained below. Then, create a dword value name ignoreshiftoveride, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value data box with 1 to enable the setting. Click "ok" and close the registry. After a restart the changes take effect. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
