This thread is for discussions of Register Program to Start Up Automatically.

What do you as the difference between this solution and creating and installing a service?  When would you choose one over the other?

This is very intresting, but what about deleting my entry from the registry so that my program won't begin at start up?

you'd probably want to take a look at the RegDeleteKey api function (which is also listed) - and just call that on the same key that you create in this code?

yeah as James say, u can del it by using the regdeletekey
or u can use the 'msconfig' in win9X and winXP to delete it...

this will register when the user run the program, although u have use the 'msconfig' to del the startup,
it will stil keep on register the program when u restart or reopen the program

for example:
u have a x.exe with is using this code to register to startup
when u try to using the 'msconfig' to del the register value,
but when u reopen the x.exe the program will register to the startup

this was different with the installing service
because the installing service will jz register it once, after the user using it to del the register value
it won startup anymore.

understand now?

Thank you for your help, i will try to do it so...

Well... It seems i failed on using RegDeleteKey properly. Can you provide me with some code please?

Thank you very much for your help, i really appreciate it...

sorry man, i jz finish my chinese new year...
so may be late reply ur question, hope u can forgive me...

to delete the register key u can using the following code
Code:

r = RegDeleteValue(keyhand, strValue)

above code will allow u to delete the register key.
you jz replace it on to the savestring before Code:

regclosekey(keyhand)

or u can create a new sub for it...

hope this will help u...

Would it be easier to run a check of the change on start up and if present not run again

yap u can do that oso,
before that u may need to know how to del the registry key,(the question as amoibabe asked)...D
