how to make program start after power on

[Guest kiwiguy]

Besides putting the link(or program) at storagewindowsstartup directory, is there other way to make program run automatically after power on :?:

[Guest Vector]

you can put the program into the HKLMInit key in the registry as well

Yeh i was wondering about that...you used it in an old ver of font installer. What data needs to be put in the init key?

basically it contains two values per program:

LaunchXX which holds the executable (including path if not in windows) name

and

DependXX which specifies any dependencies of this program i.e. this defines where in the boot process your program gets launched. The numbers are two byte hex values which refer to other LaunchXX values ...
