Option to run program on startup

[GeneZ]

So I wanted my little program to have an option for the users to make it run on startup.

is this possisble?

Just a check button type system tray item that if checked the program will run on startup if not it won't

is this possible?

You can easily do that, you'll just have to decide which startup entry location you want to use:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

The User's Startup Folder

All Users' Startup Folder

so I just make my program add a registry key there? and it will automatically be added to startup list?

There is no such thing as a "startup list". Windows has some folders and registry keys it check at start and run any content in them. Varian listed the more common ones.

Decide what you want, then look in the helpfile for

FileCreateShortcut() and Directory Macros or RegWrite().
