Hi,
I''ve tried to understand editing the registery with API calls and stuff, but decided that i'd try it with making a *.reg file and then adding it to the registery cause I don't understand the way with the API calls

Here's the code I use to add a program to run on start-up:

Hi,
hmm ok, nevermind, I tried the module from P.T.A.M. again and i understood the part to set the program on startup, so I'm going to do make with the API calls.
Thank again P.T.A.M., cool module!

I don't understand what you mean here :

What I meant was: When the value i send to the registery contains the char '/' it didn't work.

I have no problem adding a "/" in the value. I tried this and it worked fine...

[wezel]

The module works great, I meant that it didn't work with a "/" included in the value if you do it the other way: No API calls, but with making a *.reg file and adding it to the registery:

shell "regedit /s Filename.reg" (or something)

But i'm do it the API way now, that way it works fine

I never would have guessed that it wouldn't work the other way! Weird... Anyway if it works, no worries
