Do you have an application you need to launch on Windows startup? Typically, you do this by placing an item in the Startup directory. However, you can also do this with a registry entry. Add a new string value using the name of your application. The value is the path to your executable:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft\_ WindowsCurrentVersionRun
A sample entry might look like this:
MyApp C:Program FilesMyAppMyApp.exe
