Run program not in StartUp Folder - System - Tips & Tricks - Greatis Delphi Pages

Create a new string type record in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Implementation of this idea is so:


procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if Edit1.Text<>'' then
  begin
    with TRegistry.Create do
    begin
      RootKey:=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
      if OpenKey('Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 
                 TRUE) then
        WriteString('UserProgram', Edit1.Text)
      else
        MessageDlg('Registry record error', mtError, [mbOk], 0);
      CloseKey;
    end;
  end;
end;
