Making a c++ program that starts up when the computer does
So my question is:
How would I make a c++ program that starts up when the user logs in to their account and views the desktop? Such as how MSN starts up automatically when the computers starts.
I already know about the Start Up folder method but I was looking more into the Registry way.
And ofc you can tell I don't really know much about Registry so with the code if you can explain it to me step by step, i'd really be thankful.
Thank you.

Right click the .exe in your debug folder, and make a shortcut. Cut and paste that shortcut here, replacing (user) with your username:
C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
if you're running xp.
In windows seven, copy it here, replacing (user-name) with your username:
C:\Users\(User-Name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
