Occasional Program Startup Failure?

T

Tom

Hello,



I have a VB program that needs to run all the time on Windows 2000 (but not
as a service). I have added it to the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"



However, the once and a while the program fails to start and it causes a lot
of problems for my users. I wonder if there is a better way of starting the
app on Win 2000.



Note: It can not be run as a service.



Any help is greatly appreciated,

Tom

Tom,

You can add it to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

But I think you need to better define "fails to start and it causes a lot of
problems" - simply changing how the program starts will not fix any bugs in
the program....What makes you believe that changing the startup method will
resolve these problems?
