Running a program continuously

[mrstuff68]

I have a program that i have made, that i would like it to start at start up and run, throughout the entire time that the computer is on, and then obviously turn off when the computer shuts down. How would i go about doing this? Also if possible how could i make it invisible, meaning not showing its icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.

Please help me out on this.

Code is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What operating system?

Windows ME. What is the difference between the operating systems, is there a different way of coding it.

A Lazy way Of Doing It Is To Add A Shortcut to Ur Program In The Startup Dir In Start > Programs > StartUp

Or You Could Add A Value Here In The Registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

That is one way of doing it, but i would like to try and get a better way of doing it.

You could put a key (app name) value (app path) in the registry here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Will run for all users, and wont be able to be deleted from the startup folder.

Hope this helps,
