Post subject: Checkbox to set to startup?

Posted: April 5th, 2010, 1:02 am

Hi,

I'm trying to make my script start up with windows, and I'm having some troubles:

1. How can I enable or disable whether it starts up by checking or unchecking a checkbox?! This has been frustrating me for hours!

2. What registry key/folder should I put a startup link in to ensure it starts up on ALL versions of Windows (XP, Vista & 7). Code?

Thnx a lot!

In xp this key will add a startup executable.

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

As always, backup your registry before editing it!!

Alternatively you can create a shortcut to your program in %A_StartMenu%\Programs\Startup (for current user) or %A_StartMenuCommon%\Programs\Startup (for all users).

Thanks, but which one of these will definitely work on every OS?
