c# and Windows startup

• JacobEgholm

  The guys here have already described a couple of ways for you to do this.

  Note that starting a C# application on Windows startup is the same as starting ANY application ;o)

  You could create the c# app as a windows service:

  You can add a key to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ or for user only HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\.
  
  Or you can use the Startup Folder. A little article can be found here on codeproject.

  Running a service isn't for any program handy, take MSN Messanger for example. The Application itselfs isn't a service, but it does start with Windows.
  
  Not every application can be converted to a service, but it is allways a thing to keep in mind! Thanks for the notice.
