Fixing the IE7 'Run Once' Problem

Fixing the IE7 'Run Once' Problem:

I installed IE7 and it always kept trying to open the Runonce page but everytime I got an error that prevented that page from loading.
I tried setting up the home page several times but it didn't work. A quick google search got me to matt brindley's page and to the right solution.

SOLUTION:

1. Open GPO by typing gpedit.msc on the Start / Run


2. Look for this folder:
   User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Internet Explorer/


3. There look for the value:
   Prevent performance of First Run Customize settings


4. Double click it


5. On the window that opens select the middle radio button "Enabled" and in the drop down below select "Go directly to home page"


6. Click Ok, close GPO and the problem is gone.
