Hi,

I'd like to provide my users with a checkbox like:

"Start [this program] automatically when Windows starts"

What's a good way to do this? I'd prefer to place/remove a shortcut in the
users "Startup" group (as this is also the easiest for the user to find),
but could settle for some entry in the registry.

Thanks,
Hans.

Hi Hans,

If you really want it to do this, you need to build it as a Windows Service.
There is a project template for these in VS.NET.

Have a look in the registry under the Local
Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Hive - you can add an
entry there to your app path and it will start for all users at start up,
you check box just needs to write / delete your entry in the hive.  If you
want it user specific then set the same path but start from Current User
