[HELP] First Run Help

Hey everyone... i was wondering if anyone could help me with detecting the first time a program is ran.

Right now i have it check for a text file and if it not there then its the first time the program has been run.

So i was wondering, because for some reason my current code doesn't work, if i could write to the registry instead of making a file. Then have it check the registry?

Current Code:

Code:

    Private Sub Splash_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim apploc As String
        apploc = System.IO.File.Exists(Application.StartupPath + "\Check.OTT"
        If apploc = True Then
            'Run normal code
        Else
            'Show first run
            'Write Check.OTT
        End If
    End Sub

Any help will be appreciated.

Set apploc as boolean variable and that will solve this.
