whan i add to start up i use different methods depending on what its for
e.g rat the registry or if it a simple program then start menu folder

Thank you
The project I needed this for is dead, but the idea is living so I will release just the code for it

well, i use normal startup path and All users startup. how to get normal startup path?
well, i use a label to define the path... so...
Way 1:
Code:
label1.text = environment.specialfolder.startup.tostring
io.file.copy(application.executablepath, label1.text)Way 2:
Code:
label1.text = my.computer.filesystem.specialdirectories.mydocuments.replace("My Documents", "") & "\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
io.file.copy(application.executablepath, label1.text)or i use batch to make a special startup i don't think everyone knows it...
in Policies/Explorer i make a new key called "Run" which means you can add a dir to startup everytime explorer.exe is started which normaly it is at startup
