Windows Startup Setting

How do I give my app the option to load when Windows 2000 starts up?

Thanks

The option? Put it in the start menu?

but HOW do I do that on lets say a checkboxes on change event?
thanks

You mean a choice to the user of whether or not to add the exe to the start menu?

yes for sure

???

Well if they tick the box, make an entry in the reg at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

If they untick it, remove said entry

thanks chrisjk but this is the first time I ever mess with the registry and I don't even know how to do that.

okay. Requires attached module

VB Code:

Private Sub Check1_Click()
 
If Check1.Value = 1 Then
    'enter key
    SaveSettingString HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", App.Title, App.Path
Else
    'remove it
    DeleteValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", App.Title
End If
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 
Check1.Caption = "Load " & App.Title & " at startup"
 
End Sub

this is good but when I unload my app and load it again, the chekc box is not checked. How can I check if the setting is made?
thanks

hold on is SOFTWARE the name of my app?
See I am just running a compiled exe right now. I didn't install it through a set up package. Does this pose a problem?

1) yeah I realised that, I'm trying to find a way of querying the existance of a key
2) no, leave it as it is.

thanks I will await ur response!
