Run application when the system startsup

[zahid_ash]

Hi, I want to run the Application at system startup( when ever its start/boots up) without placing its EXE in startup folder. Any idea / link ? Thanks Regards.

you can start it by creating new string key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run ( for all users ) or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run ( execute only if current user login again) in registry, which should contain the path to your application. you can give any name to this key -Sarath

Put the Full path of the Application (.exe)into the registry under for local machine accessible for all users HKLM\Software\microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Run for the particular user HKCU\Software\microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Run Knock out 'T' from CAN'T , You 'CAN' if you think you 'CAN' :cool:

There are 2 places in the registry that you can use for this: If you only want to run your application once on the next startup then add a new key to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\" If you want your exe to run every time windows is started then make a new key in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\" Don't think you are, know you are... custom hardware & software - olloc.be
