Environment

Caution! Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.

Resolution

REGEDIT:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"AppSetup"="CtxHide.exe,UsrLogon.cmd,cmstart.exe"


Problem Cause

The setting for AppSetup when broken only has UsrLogon.cmd and needs to have CtxHide.exe before UsrLogon.cmd and cmstart.exe after UsrLogon.cmd
