Where to place my application ?

Hi,

I want to execute an application when windows start automatically. Please tell me where can I place my application path except leaving the option Startup.

My application should not be available in the Startup Menu Bar. And after execution it should also not appear in the task list. Purely it should be a program which runs without users notice.

Regards

RM

To run your application, without placing them in the autostart-folder, make a registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Write any Name as new Value and place the path of your application.

To start the app when windows starts you can neither place code into windows registry or use simpler way...you can place
link (.lnk) or
executable (.exe) or
Batch file (.bat)
into C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Any Name"="C:\\...\\...\\Your.Exe"

Write this into a file, name this file test.reg and doubleclick this file.
