Why do you need to do this? Also I recommend that you change your username to something other than your email address or your inbox will be flooded with spam. Although its probably too late now anyway....


Edit: Just saw the start up thing. Do a search. This question has been answered about a hundred times.

Copy itself to another location? Run at startup?

You're not trying to create a virus are you? lol

Oh maybe I did read it right in the first place. A virus was my immediate thought. Then I thought it meant that he wanted to copy it to the startup folder (not thinking that you only put a shortcut there). Yes it does sound like some form of virus. I suggest that you explain what you are trying to achieve and then let us help you from there.

Yes, I myself agree. Please give us a little more detail so we can know what you are trying to explain cause it sounds like a virus to me. Maybe it is not but we dont know that.

oh no im not trying to make a virus !! i dont know much about programing
all im trying to do is to load at startup any program i choose to for example a calendar or something .

Just place your shortcut to the desired app in your startup menu folder.

Why do you need the program to copy itself to another location?

[Krishnaabc]

Seems rather suspicious, but yeah, just place application in the startup menu folder. Although, you can also call reg api to add it in the registry, which would be less detectable, if you get me, lol.

A running application can't copy itself. You would need something external to the app to do the copy for you.

ok !! i found this while i was searching in the forum :

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim SScript
Set SScript = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
SScript.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Cool", "App.Path & "\" & App.ExeName"

as i sad im new in programming and my second app is a calendar and i want this calendar to run at windows startup but this code that i found it doesn't work for me !! when i try it , it says : "run-time error 13 , type mismatch"

And for the app to copy it self in another location i wanted because one of my friend sad to me if u make a copy in C:\WINDOWS\startup\myapp.exe then the app it will be at startup !!


Sorry if my English wasn't good because im from Albania !!
