HELLO chapps. I was wondering how to make your VB program install itself on its first run so it will load itself up every time you start the system ? just like the ICQ thing that looks for a net conection. It''s so i can get a program to start when i start the system which has links to all my useful programs such as web-browser and little games. It makes it easier to show them off to all my friends. It''ll also teach me something new. Please help... If there''s a tutorial out there i can read or if you can mail me an example of how it''s done i would be very greatful. Cheers [GDH]Fergi[niblick]

Hi,

Add a string value to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN

Hail to start thing at start up you have 3 choice

Start -> Program -> Startup

in Registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
you can also use
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce
if you want to run soemthing i time after rebooting good when installign something and you have to congif after a reboot


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

there are ther place you can make your app start at startup
and the place you can go to stop some app from starting at startup
