Start Deskband in Taskbar with system start for all users

[bbembi_de]

Hello everyone,

I have a deskband that resides in the taskbar. I can start it manually.
But I want to start it with system start and for all users. Is there a
registry entry I have to make?

Thanks.

Two things I can think of. Throw a short-cut into the C:\Document And
Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Startup folder. Or add a registry entry to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I've never done either of these programatically, but that's two of the
places I go to look for crap/software that's automatically running even
though I don't tell it to do so. Keep in mind that most "nice" software
asks if you want to install it for yourself, or all users. And perhaps give
the users an option to turn it off somehow as well. Unfortunately, I can't
tell you how you're going to turn it off for one user and not all the
others, cause I don't know.

To follow up on Clint's reply, if installing for Everyone, then use the
"All Users" folder. If not, just use the folder for the current user.
Look up the "SpecialFolders" enumeration.

Thanks,
but the problem is that I start it manually by right clicking on the
Taskbar and activating my deskband in the list of toolbars. The
deskband is a DLL in the Windows Assembly Cache.

So it can't just start the DLL.

Sorry, I had misunderstood.

I haven't tried it, but it looks promising

Thanks, that helped alot.

I still have the problem that i can't start the deskband
programmically.
But it seems there is no solution for that.
