[Help] Adding a program to autorun after being ran

Adding a program to autorun after being ran

I like to make little harmless troll program's and I want to upgrade them.
My idea is to make a small troll program that sets itself to autorun when someone starts their PC
Help, suggestions and anything of use is welcome.
Thanks in advance

This sort of goes without saying, but if you want the user of the application to have the option of making it a user-based startup (only auto-loads when certain users sign in) you can put in into the CurrentUser registry folder:

HK_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run

If you wanna make your program put this in automatically, you can insert the key with code such as this:

Code:

Dim CU As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = _
    Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey _
    ("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run")

With CU
    .OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ _
    CurrentVersion\Run", True)
    .SetValue("MyProgram", AppPath)
End With

Where in this example, "AppPath" would be the full path of your program, INCLUDING the executable name. For example:

C:\Program Files\Temp Program\MyProgram.exe

Hope this helps!
