IE7 - runonce.msn.com/runonce3.aspx

It is common that most of us as has seen IE7 loading "http://runonce.msn.com/runonce3.aspx" URL even after specifying about:blank in internet option for IE7.

There is small work around for this to get rid of from IE7 first startup.

Go to Start -> RUN -> regedit ->
In Registry editor window try to point this location

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

There Righ click on Main and click on New DWORD to create a new word.

New DWORD name : "RunOnceComplete" 

set It's value to "1".

Close the registry to save this.

And Re-start the IE to check whether it is working or not... Hope it works for u too.

No need to restart Windows.
