Disabling AD Bar for all users in PRO mode

[ralf]

Hello,

is it possible to disable the AD bar in the pro version of the viewer for all users by default?

I found the checkbox for hiding the AD bar in the preferences menu. I noticed that this switch changes the following registry setting:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFViewer\Registration]
"HideAD"=dword:00000001

But this is only a user setting. How can I disable it for all users?

It would be nice to have the same registry key in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry tree that would override the setting of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Tracker Software\PDFViewer\Registration\HideAD in 'PRO' mode.

If you have administrator rights, you could write a small script that is executed once a user logs into the system. In this script, you could use the REG.EXE command line utility from Windows to manipulate the reg key.

We faced the same issue.

We simply added the following line to our login script (VBS), which takes care of it for every user who may log into a machine:

Code: Select all

wshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Tracker Software\PDFViewer\Registration\HideAD", 1 ,"REG_DWORD"

Hope that helps!

Thanks,

Dan
