Tech support problem

[David Foster, CNE]

Try pasting the following into Notepad:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"PidginIM"="C:\\Program Files\\Pidgin\\pidgin.exe"


Then save as a .reg file (i.e., pidginstart.reg  or similar). Double 
click the .reg file and this will cause Pidgin to start up automatically.

Of course, you could also put Pidgin.exe in the startup folder, I used 
this on all our computers in order to prevent our employees from 
-removing- it from the startup folder, since nobody here even knows what 
the registry is!

oh - of course, be sure to back up your registry before making changes 
to it..
