    Post Making my app run on start up?

    How can I make my Windows application run on start up?

    And while I'm at it how can I make it so if a user clicks remind me later the program will turn back on in a hour or whatever time is set?

    If you can help +rep will be given.

    Thanks.Tanner

    You will have to autorun your soft at start of system. To do this you have to add something to windows registry INFO: Run, RunOnce, RunServices, RunServicesOnce and Startup. Then it's easy. You have to show window in timer.

    You can also place a shortcut or the exe in the startup folder which varies per OS.

    To make a popup notification appear in an hour just use timers. Once the timer has ran for 1 hour you can pop up the notification again.

    You can check out these C# Timer Code Snippets for help.
