    you must add your exe file path in following registry key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    This wont show the path in startup but it will run your program at startup.

    or in Windows 95/98 you can set it in your Win.ini file...

    For example:

    LOAD=C:\App.exe

    But I would also recomment the reg key...

    SaveSettingString HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "yourappname", App.Path & "\yourapp.exe"

    There is no VB function "SaveSettingString". Do you have the declarations and code for this routine? I assume it uses complex registry APIs.

    The VB SaveSetting command wil always write to sub-keys in HKey_Current_User\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings. So it won't look in the registry at the correct point.
