NetDrive_Setup error on boot - Registry Access is denied

How To & FAQ NetDrive

Every time I start my machine, I receive the following error:

NetDriveError

I have tried uninstalling NetDrive. I still see it however in the Task Manager Startup items, so I disable it there, yet I still get this error.

Any ideas on how to resolve?
Thanks,
Sam

It seems that there is something left in registry which tries to access the key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

If you can use regedit.exe please remove an entry under following position. You can find a registry entry which contains NetDrive3_Setup_3.1.234.exe file name.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

There is another location where NetDrive setup adds RunOnce entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Here is the complete list of registry keys to check:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
