Startup program info

[fede97]

Hi all, i'm here to ask some informations about starting up a program on windows startup. That's not for a simple operation, like putting the exe in the startup folder.

I want to boot it first on system boot using this reg key: "HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerBootExecute"

I ask here cause i found an exe that uses this function but it's not a simple exe, when i try to start it up windows says me that the file isn't a win32 app. So i can't understand how it's written (It was avast's antivirus boot scan exe).

PS That's just a proof of concept i want to code (if it's possible), not malware or any other bad software.

Thanks but the function you linked me is a general startup. I wanted to use the registry key i linked (there are many others to do approx the same ) cause when you put a program in this one you can use a "console" like the one shown below in the spoiler

Your intentions are probably good, so there was no need to mention the 'M' word. As with regards to your query, do a bit more research on google (or another popular search engine) as this will answer your question.

Thanks, i'll read it after i finished my homwork. I have searched on google for that for hours but i never think about looking for "Native applications" cause i never heard about them. (Sorry for my ignorance )

It's not ignorance. I didn't know about it until I started to do some research on the subject.
