Put a value for it in one of the following folders. For All users: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run For the current users: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

using Microsoft.Win32;
.....
RegistryKey hkcu = Registry.CurrentUser;
RegistryKey run = hkcu.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentUser\\Run");

using Microsoft.Win32; string strAssemblyPath; strAssemblyPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(base.Context.Parameters[ASSEMBLYPATH_STATENAME]); Process.Start(strAssemblyPath+"\\Application.exe"); RegistryKey MainKey; MainKey=Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths"); RegistryKey ApplicationKey=MainKey.OpenSubKey("Application",true); ApplicationKey.SetValue("Application.exe",strAssemblyPath+"\\Application.exe"); Check the Above code written in c#. This Code i have written for writting my application path into registry. And u can add the application to the Start up in another way also. Check while creating setup u can create a chort cut to the start menu startup folder. that will also run the application. Arun Kumar Sabat
