Scheduled Tasks and Automatic Startup

[cyprus106]

i need to automatically put a program into the computers Scheduled Tasks list? and also, does anyone have any example code that puts a program in the regisrty list to startup automatically when windows starts up? Cyprus

Copy the Program into the autostart directory. Perhaps this path may be dependent on the OS.

uhh, I need to hard-code this into the program. When a user gets it, and rns it for the first time, I want it to automatically be placed in the autostart directory. Cyprus

When the program runs, find the startup folder, see if the shortcut exists in the folder, and if not then copy the shortcut into that folder; otherwise, just run the program.

Just one note on this: if the user doesn't want your program in the startup, he/she can get very frustrated about having to remove the program from Startup everytime they run the program. (Been there, done that. ;-) ) James P. Cottingham
