Adding an exe to startup

[girish rateshwar]

Dear all,
I have an application in c++ to calculate the disk space allocated to each user in policy. This application should automatically startup with windows.
Is there any means (i.e by using a batch file while installing this application) by way of which i can get this exe in the startup folder.
I guess i need to modify the registry :roll:

If you insert this value the application will run every time.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Create a new sting value and name it as you wish. Add the path of the location in the value of that string.
If you wish to do it in a multi user enviornment then you would have to use a bit different string.
I guess that is under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Just a guess not sure though.
Or you can simply add that file in startup folder.
C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
