Auto launch of app, after normal power on after FPA has run

[Tom]

I looked at the Nov 2 dialog of "Automatic launch of an
application" hoping to find why mine won't start either.

When I created the component for my application, under
registry data I added HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx which
I think is correct for my Explorer shell (According to
help \Run is for command shell). I really need a better
explanation as to what to put in the "value" and "value
name" fields. Right now I have app_name.exe (no path) for
the "value" and the component's name in the "value name".
In KM's answer I wasn't clear on when to use
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"Userinit".

I created a desktop shortcut to the component. My
application runs fine when I double click on the shortcut
icon.

Tom,

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] should
work for you if you have Explorer shell.
The value set can be: "MyAppName"="myapp.exe"(REG_SZ type) or
"MyAppName"="<my app path>\myapp.exe"

I don't think you have to use [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\"Userinit"]. It may be used if you are playing
with your custom shell.
