Configure > File Path keeps reverting to old path

Post by Scroob »

Hello!

We have gPhotoShow free set up on a lobby TV. I have it set up to a shared folder so that our front desk people can go in from their own computers and change the slideshow photos. The time came to replace the computer with a newer one. One of our engineers cloned the drive onto a new computer. Here is the problem:

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get the directory to stop reverting to \\[old computer name]\Screensaver. This is what it used to be on the old computer, and every time I change the settings, the change stays until rebooting the computer and logging on again. I've fully uninstalled it (along with reg keys and leftover files), but it always reverts back to the old file path. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to why it would keep reverting like this?

Hello,
gPhotoShow settings are saved in the current user branch of the system registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GPGSoftware), if the settings are lost after a reboot is means the registry is restored to a previous value.

Thank you! After a bit of digging, found out that it was a UEM logon script being pushed out by Intune.
