Startup Logger

I made this handy little function/snippet while working on another project. It logs the programs that start up with windows to a text file. Hope it is as useful to someone out there as it was to me :)

;Logs all startup items from a reg key to a file
Func _LogStartupItems($_outputFile, $_runKey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run")
    Local $_itemCount = 1
    Local $_itemPath
    Local $_itemName = RegEnumVal($_runKey, $_itemCount)
    While Not @error
        $_itemCount += 1
        $_itemPath = RegRead($_runKey, $_itemName)
        If Not @error Then
            FileWriteLine($_outputFile, $_itemName & "; Path:" & $_itemPath)
        EndIf
        $_itemName = RegEnumVal($_runKey, $_itemCount)
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>_LogStartupItems

;Example Usage ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dim $myStartupKeys[5]
$myStartupKeys[0] = 4
$myStartupKeys[1] = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
$myStartupKeys[2] = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"
$myStartupKeys[3] = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
$myStartupKeys[4] = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"

For $i = 1 To $myStartupKeys[0]
    _LogStartupItems(@DesktopDir & "\" & @UserName & "-StartUp" & ".txt", $myStartupKeys[$i])
