Put this code under a Basic Module
VB Code:
Option Explicit Public Const HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = &H80000000 Public Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001 Public Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002 Public Const HKEY_USERS = &H80000003 Public Const HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG = &H80000005 Public Const HKEY_DYN_DATA = &H80000006 Private Const REG_SZ = 1 'Unicode nul terminated string Private Const REG_BINARY = 3 'Free form binary Private Const REG_DWORD = 4 '32-bit number Private Const ERROR_SUCCESS = 0& 'unusually registry API functions return 0 on success Private Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32.dll" _ (ByVal hkey As Long) As Long Private Declare Function RegCreateKey Lib "advapi32.dll" _ Alias "RegCreateKeyA" (ByVal hkey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey _ As String, phkResult As Long) As Long Private Declare Function RegSetValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" _ Alias "RegSetValueExA" (ByVal hkey As Long, ByVal _ lpValueName As String, ByVal Reserved As Long, ByVal _ dwType As Long, lpData As Any, ByVal cbData As Long) As Long Public Function RegSaveString(hkey As Long, strPath As String, _ strName As String, strData As String) As Boolean Dim hCurKey& If Right(strPath, 1) = "\" Then strPath = Left(strPath, Len(strPath) - 1) Call RegCreateKey(hkey, strPath, hCurKey) 'create key/open handle if already exists RegSaveString = (RegSetValueEx(hCurKey, strName, 0, REG_SZ, _ ByVal strData, Len(strData)) = ERROR_SUCCESS) 'set value Call RegCloseKey(hCurKey) 'close registry handle End Function
Call the function anywhere in app
VB Code:
'Add data into the registry If RegSaveString(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "MyAPP", REG_SZ, "C:\1.exe") Then MsgBox "Data saved" Else MsgBox "Fail to save" End If
Note:
There different keys you can use are Run, runonce and RunService.
Run: Runs everytime Windows starts
runonce: Runs only once
RunService: Runs much before normal Apps start (usually Anti-Virus programs start here)
