Hi,

We are using Spybot and also the Novell Application Launcher and frequently we need to change the Shell item in the registry. When this is done a pop-up appears to say allow the change, so we do that whilst ticking the Always remember button. Upon reboot the teatimer reminds us that the change has been allowed because of the white list, but we didn't change the value, all we did is reboot.:confused: The problem is that it also appears upon every reboot!! Yeah, initially we changed the value, but we don't want to be reminded of this every time we start up the PC. Please can you help, many thanks.

Regards,

James

Hello James,

The reason why TeaTimer asked you is because it would ask you about any similar changes in the registry without regarding if it is good or bad.
There are so many registry keys that it is impossible to classify them by default. So the user has to decide if he wants to allow it or not.
The TeaTimer is making snapshot files when you start it the first time and the tool is comparing the current registry with the snapshot files.
If you want to make a new snapshot files please shutdown the TeaTimer with the Resident icon and then start it manually from the Spybot S&D program folder.
There is no possibility yet to hide the popups which remind you which keys are blocked. As a workaround, you can only make new snap shot files.

Best regards
