The title says it all: I am trying desperately to keep OCS from starting automatically when I log in to Windows. The first and only thing I did was unchecking the "Automatically start Communicator when I log on to Windows" option. I can verify that it is still disabled, but OCS ignores that and starts up as soon as I log on to Windows.
There is no OCS in the "Startup" folder, and the registry setting "AutoRunWhenLogonToWindows" at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Communicator is set to 0x00000000.
I am using Office Communicator 2007 R2 on a Windows 7 with Microsoft Office 2010.
Unfortunately none of the two answers I got so far didn't work:
* Changing the said key in the Default User\NTUSER.DAT file instead => No effect.
* Turn off the "Display status" option in MS Outlook => No effect.
