Medic873 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I have been working on this for a while how can I have my software start whenever the computer is booted. It is a fully background operation that will update my software. So I prefer that it doesn't mess with the user. But will run and check for a update on every boot. So how can I assign my software to a users computers regrestery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaFu Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 In SMF I use this: FileCreateShortcut(@ScriptDir & "\" & @ScriptName, @StartupDir & "\SMF - Search my Files.lnk", @ScriptDir, "minimized", "SMF Autostart Link", @ScriptDir & "\" & @ScriptName, "", "0", @SW_MINIMIZE) Look up the syntax in the helpfile.

GEOSoft Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 @GEOSoftI would of posted that, but that could of been viewed a malicious.Almost anything can be viewed as malicious. There are some people that can be considered malicious if they manage to turn on their computer. We often use the Run and RunOnce keys so I don't worry about those two unless there is something that tells me I should. I also know a bit about how Windows deals with that key so as long as the system is properly protected there isn't much to worry about. George Question about decompiling code?
