Registry Startup Key
I've tried reading through a couple of examples but I can't really differentiate between what's what. Here's what I want to do:
I have a checkbox that says 'Start with windows.' When it is ticked, I want to create a key in HKCU...RUN with the path and when it is unticked I want it to delete this key.
Thanks for any help.

Startup Registry Key Problem
Hi,
I have developed an application called "Quick Access XP" it is a program that basicly has a series of command buttons which allows a user to open up notepad e.c.t using the "Shell" command. I have programed the application to start as a tray icon and when it is clicked once (by left or right mouse button) it displays my program. I have menus which allow the user to minimize to tray and to exit. Also I have a Help menu which displays an about form.
Anyway everything works fine but now I want to make my program (using a reg key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversion
un)
boot every time the PC starts so it is easily accessable by the user.
This is were I am having trouble I have tried reusing code from sample apps so many times it isn't funny but none of them seem to work.
This is my latest attempt:
On Error Resume Next ' Make sure no errors occur
If App.PrevInstance = True Then End ' If its already running , close this version
regkeyname = "QuickAccessXP"
UpdateKey &H80000002, "softwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversion
un", regkeyname , App.Path & "" & App.EXEName & ".exe"
When it is run it comes up with this error "ByRef argument type mismatch"
and highlights the word in orange.
If you have read this far I THANK YOU very much in advance and if you chose to try and help me that is even better!
Thanks

Registry Startup Question
if i want to add an entry to my
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
does the 'name' have to be the name of the exe?
e.g... if this set the entry in registry
SetKeyValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", "name", "C:lah.exe", Reg_String
would blah.exe startup everytime windows started, if that entry was in registry?
Startup Registry Code
VB Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()'Add the program to regedit. So it runs each time the computer restarts. Dim sAppEXE As String sAppEXE = App.Path & IIf(Right$(App.Path, 1) = "", "", "") & App.EXEName & ".exe" SaveSettingString HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", App.Title, Chr$(34) & sAppEXE & Chr$(34)End Sub
do i need something for the 'SaveSettingString ' part? or will the code work fine as it is to make the program restart on my pc

Registry Application Like Startup In Msconfig
i am new and need a little help. I have a project i am almost finished and am strugling with the last little bit of the project. i have created a listbox and have changed the type to checkbox. now what i want to do and need help with is this. I want to be able to list all the string names and values that exist at 7 different key and depending on what key they reside at, either have a check in the checkbox next to the string name and value that has been written to the listbox or not. for example: i want all the string names and values read from hkey_local_machinemicrosoftsoftwarewindowscurrentversion
un to be written to the listbox, as well as run-, runservices, runservices-,runonce, runonce-, etc...
If the string resides at a subkey that doesnt end in a "-" then the checkbox will be checked, but if the string and value do reside at a subkey that ends in a "-", the checkbox will be unchecked.
the second part i would like i to do is if you check or uncheck a box then it needs to copy the string value from the subkey with the "-" to the subkey without the "-" or vice versa.
basicly what this is is an application very similar to the startup portion of msconfig.exe in windows. please help me.
thank you

*RESOLVED* Windows Registry - Startup
Help!
I have an installation program that I wrote which installs an application on a clients PC. I would like to automatically add some code to the Windows registry so the application will start up each time the system re-boots. I have tried different API calls but have failed.
I am sure there is a "simple" API procedure for this. Can someone help me?
Thanks,

Editing The Registry To Launch My Program At Startup?
I know I need to use the win API of sorts to create a registry key to launch my program with windows. It's just basically my own personal little launch center... And rather than using the startup section (where my GF can delete the link - as she often does for no apparent reason) I'd like to have it in the registry where it will still come up but she will be sure not to find it =)
Thanks

Unable To Read From Registry At Startup Everytime
Hi
I have a VB6 application which is in the startup folder. so it runs everytime the PC is turned on.
In the Main method - I am trying to find the name of the Computer from the Registry. The problem is that the code is not able to get the computer name every time. The field variable where the computer name is stored is g_cWorkStation. Perhaps the registry is inaccessible for a few milliseconds at startup ?
I am guessing here that the Registry has trouble sometimes getting hold of the Workstation name at startup OR there is a bug in my local class cRegistryAccess. cRegistryAccess handles all the information pertaining to the registry.
Has anyone heard of a similar problem ? where can I find out exactly what is going on ?
I set my registry object as follows
Set g_objReg = New cRegistryAccess
My code is as follow
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Main()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
'Init Prime/Drain labview event verification
g_bLabViewEventReceived = False
'Detect valid COM Port and connection
Set g_objDeviceInfo = New DeviceInfo
g_nCommPort = g_objDeviceInfo.DetectConnectedPort
g_objDeviceInfo.CommPort = g_nCommPort
'Set Device info XML Class
Set g_objDevice = New cDevice
' Show the splash screen.
frmSplash.Show
g_cWorkStation = g_objReg.GetRegistryValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, _
"SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlComputerNameActiveComputerName", "ComputerName")
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Please ensure the device is connected properly, then try again."
If Not frmSplash Is Nothing Then
Unload frmSplash
End If
End Sub
RegOpenKeyEx Reads Registry Erratically In Startup
Hi Anyone expert in windows API function RegOpenKeyEx
I have a VB6 application. It is in startup folder - so it gets started as soon as the PC is turned on. In the MAIN method - I try to find the computer name. 90% of the time the application is successful. The error handler has been commented out - so I don't know what happens - but sometimes the application is unable to get the computer name.
Is there an access issue right at startup ?
following is my code.
I declare my windows API as follows
Declare Function RegOpenKeyEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias _
"RegOpenKeyExA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, _
ByVal ulOptions As Long, ByVal samDesired As Long, phkResult As _
Long) As Long
in my MAIN method I am calling my class object to find the computer name
g_cWorkStation = g_objReg.GetRegistryValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, _
"SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlComputerNameActiveComputerName", "ComputerName")
----------------------------------------------------
My application then calls the following method
------------------------------------------
Public Function GetRegistryValue(ByVal RootKeyName As RootKeyConst, _
ByVal KeyPath As String, ByVal SubKeyName As String) As Variant
Dim lRetVal As Long 'result of the API functions
Dim hKey As Long 'handle of opened key
Dim vValue As Variant 'setting of queried value
GetRegistryValue = Null
lRetVal = RegOpenKeyEx(RootKeyName, KeyPath, 0, _
KEY_ALL_ACCESS, hKey)
'If Not Errors(lRetVal) Then
lRetVal = QueryValueEx(hKey, SubKeyName, vValue)
'If Not Errors(lRetVal) Then
If Len(CStr(vValue)) >= 1 Then _
If Asc(Right(CStr(vValue), 1)) = 0 Then _
vValue = Left(vValue, Len(vValue) - 1)
GetRegistryValue = vValue
'End If
'End If
RegCloseKey (hKey)
End Function
-----------------------------------------------------
i have no clue whats going on - Please help.

NT Server Registry/Workstation Registry Access
Hi, I am trying to access the registry on a Server via the API in my code. I am using a timer to kick of some events, one of which is retrieving a key and updating it's value. Now this all works great with NT Workstation (my development machine) but the program does not seem to be able to update the registry on Server. Is there a difference? I would think not, but it's not going in and updating on Server but works great on a Workstation. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

how to add files to startup?
so, if i want to add tibia.exe which is located in c: ibia.exe
can someone give me a source code to do that simply?
Run On Startup
I know that you have to write to the following location, depending on who you want to have the program run all the time on.
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Current Version/Run (If you want a single user to allow the program to run everytime)
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Current Version/Run (If you want all users to allow the program to run everytime)
What im wondering, is what exactly do you write to this location? Say your program is titled "me.exe"
Add To Startup
I have a Project and if the user desides to add it to startup i want it to add to startup i looked around for the code and searched this forum but some code did nothing and other code just gave me an error with something like "file not found" so then i wanted to see if i can add it to the regestery and now everytime i start my computer i get an error something like "File not Found", i'll clean that up anyways, can someone help me add the program to startup?
