Not sure if anyone here knows about this

[bobheart]

Say you have a program and you want to have a Checkbox when checked it adds your program to the start folder in the registry so when the computer starts your program starts .

Where is that startup folder in the registry and what do you put in it to have the program start ?

I'm new to the registry stuff.

Hey,

I believe the entry you are looking for is at:

HKLM or HKCU \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

[bobheart]

Can't seem to find that ? where about would it be ?

[nobby]

HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Start regedit, do a search for RUN, select te option look at Key for faster search

[bobheart]

Ok got that all worked out . so how would I have this when it is checked it loads the key and loads the path for the app ?

As we know not all programs are installed in the same place .

So I need the "Hello this is a test " part to have the path to the app .
