Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Two instances of Ultramon running after boot.
Dave Robinson   2012-04-03 02:23
When my Computer starts there is at the moment two instances of Ultramon are running, in the task manager there are two instances of Ultramon.exe and UltramonTaskbar.exe listed, ending the process or process tree for causes one of the double taskbars to close down leaving just one.

These are the entries in the registry for startup.

Startup Common UltraMon.lnk C:\Windows\Installer\{537056B7-32A4-4408-9B54-0341963C7C9C}\IcoUltraMon.ico

and

Startup User UltraMon.lnk C:\Windows\Installer\{537056B7-32A4-4408-9B54-0341963C7C9C}\IcoUltraMon.ico

Trying to delete one of the entries causes the program not to run at startup.

You'll get this if the registry entries for the user and machine startup folder are the same, to fix this take a look at the following registry values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders, Startup value

Sample value: C:\Users\Christian\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders, Startup value

Sample value: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders, Common Startup value

Sample value: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders, Common Startup value

Sample value: %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
