Failed to set data for 'Shutter'

rlburnett · 2012-02-23 18:47

I can make changes to all options and save without error except when I check the "Autorun at Windows startup/login" checkbox. When this box is checked and you press save you get an error message that states, "Failed to set data for 'Shutter'".

I am testing the application on Windows 7 x86. I am user the machine under "user" rights but have allowed full access to the Shutter folder in C:\Program Files folder.

In order to automatically start Shutter at login, application needs to write a startup entry in to the registry. In latest versions of Windows (Vista and 7) this can be done only under the administrative privileges.

You need to Righ-click on the Shutter's shortcut icon and select "Run as Administrator", modify the setting, exit Shutter. This will let shutter put entry into the registry. After that you can start Shutter normally, without admin privileges.
