Registry

[Peter]

I want to set a registry key to autostart a small program.
If I use the
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Run key it works when the user logs in first time.
Which key do I have to use, that the programs starts,
although no one logs in (at windows logon screen)?

Hi

The program should start also if nobody logs in.

All you have to do in order to get windows to create the
regestry key for you is switch to classic view then go to
the control pannel, open the taskbar and start menu icon,
goto start menu and add the shortcut through the wizzard.
After that it should autostart when you log on.
Hope this helps,

BUD

Hi

Thanks for your help. But:
It should also start if nobody logs in.
I start my computer, windows starts up, then the program
should start.

Which registry key do I have to set, the the program
runs?

Best regards, Peter

That won't work under Windows XP.
