Launch Programs at Login without Using the Startup Folder

This tweak allows a program to be launched when the user logs onto the computer.

It can be set to run minimized, and there is no trace of the executable in the Start‐up folder on the Start Menu, or in the Documents and Settings folder.

Sadly I have to bring out the bogey man again Registry

Remember what I have said before.

Go to :‐

Start > Run In the box type without the quotes “Regedit “

Scroll to :‐

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You now need to Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as indicated below.

Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: ‐

Enter the Name of Program Executable e.g. Taskmanager

Value Data:‐ ( Enter the Path to the Program Executable) e.g.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe

Close the Registry and Reboot
