just wondering how to make an item run on startup through the registry

like, hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

i think or something like that

i've been experimenting with it for like a day now and still clueless

the way i think it would be done doesnt quite work

and the copy commands hate me so i dont want to use them to copy a shortcut to the startup folder

Ok, did you want something permanent?

You can easely make apps run from the HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENT VERSION\RUN... ( virus are always there )

This is a sample of a .reg to make a run entry

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"msnmsgr"="\"C:\\Program Files\\MSN Messenger\\msnmsgr.exe\" /background"

alright, i will try that when i get the chance

is "/background" universal or just for msn?

the /background is just for msn.

thats what i thought
