Hello.

I'm trying to do a program that delete some files and registry entries, Is

Thanks in advance.

You place a "RunOnce" entry in the registry and reboot the computer.
Google or MSDN has all the info you need.

Hi,

You have to close the associated application. Or do a reboot and place the
program in the RunOnce entry in the registry :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
