I have compiled an exe file containing my Hotkeys, which I would like it to auto load (start) every time the computer is switched on. Instead of putting this exe file in the start-up menu of the computer or using the AHK FileCreateShortcut command, I would like to have it auto load through a Registry Entry.

I have come up with the code given below and was wondering whether someone could assert that this code is correct. I am rather scared and apprehensive to mess around with the Registry and I will implement it only if someone can certify that this code will work as intended.

To highlight my example – abc.exe is the name of the exe file that I have compiled and it is under the C:\Test\ folder / directory on my computer.

The code is –

I modified the code as suggested by psjw12 but unfortunately the exe file does not auto start when the computer is switched on. Essentially, I would like the Registry Entry to emulate what the AHK FileCreateShortcut command does – that is – auto start the exe file every time the computer is started.

Basically, on the lines on the above code, I created a Folder (Directory) called C:\Program Files\Test and copied my exe file (abc.exe) to that Folder. I tried using the following code but unfortunately it didn’t work as intended.
