"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" Question

[Sims]

Hi,

I try to launch an app in WinXP everytime the user starts the system so my
app modifies

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"

And added my application full path, (the right path and it is not the
network path).

The problem is that although the app starts most of the time sometimes it
does not start.

So before i start digging around my code, is there something obvious i am
doing wrong here?

Would there be an obvious reason why the app might start and sometimes it
might not?

Many thanks.

Sims

That will run it each time the machine boots up. But not if you logout
one user and login another. For it to be run on logon you would put it
in the corresponding place in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
