My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "Name", "value")
that is the path.
You need to add the values:
Code:
Value name: My App
Code:
Value data: c:\MyApp.exe
so the result should be
Code:
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "My App", "c:\MyApp.exe")
Hope that helps dude

Using the registry does not make your app 'pro' at all. In fact it is the worst technique to use, especially if you are making some sort of malware. As this is the method most picked up on by spyware scanners and AVs.

Exclamation Re: How to add My program to Startup ?

I have a program which creates setup files. I can make you a setup which automatically does this. Maybe I could add some serial codes to your project aswell. If you PM me I can give you more info.

Well for all my companys software we use it so that is why i said it, and AVG does pick up that stuff as do NOD32. Viruses and spyware are pretty much dead its just this new-wave of USB viruses that is getting every1 pissed off cos the scanners dont pick them up, i work as a Network Admin at a school and we have this virus called the "USB Distroyer" whihch once you plug your usb it it wipes all the Partitions and the drive is useless it cannot be wiped it cannot be added partitions using diskmanagement, we just throw them away.

so reg viruses and hack will get picked up by AVG and NOD32 its only if you wanna mess around with drivers and such that it might be a malware.

Dude did you just say viruses are pretty much dead? Wow that is one of the most untrue statement that I have heard in a while. Dude there are tons of original and 'adjusted' (script kiddies) viruses released every month. Check out this page from 2006, it estimated that Kaspersky itself releases about 150 signatures every week. And we all know that they are no where near having signatures for every virus out there.

www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse/Release_rates.pdf

And lol at throwing away hard drives. Why would you not just boot to an XP disc and then delete the partition? LOL. Or even boot to a linux live CD? Don't throw them away send them to me ****. lul

And what the hell does this mean?

Yes, that would work, but that's against the point of programming. It's like saying "When someone wants to write a letter, do it with a pen and paper".
