sounds like a poor attempt at creating an annoying application.

its very simple. just double click on the form and put this line of code in.
<CODE:>
filecopy app.path + "\" + app.exename + ".exe", "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\myprogram.exe"
<END OF CODE>
and there you have it. anything else just write it here

<CODE:>
Public x as integer

if x = 0 then
filecopy app.path + "\" + app.exename + ".exe", "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\myprogram.exe"
end if
x=1
<END OF CODE>
now this might work but not 100%
\or you could use a datatable to save the x vakue in so if you copied the x will have the value of 1
and saved in the table so that the next time you open the program it wont copy cause x =1 and you wrote in the condition that x should be = 0
now after you create a table the code condition will change and it will be for example
<CODE:>
private sub form_load()
if table1.x.text ="0" then
filecopy app.path + "\" + app.exename + ".exe", "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\myprogram.exe"
end if
table.x.text="1"
end sub
<END OF CODE>
good luck !!!

Hello, thats good. but the prob is that by this code the original exe file is copying, so incase if the exe file have any supporting filie like data base files then its not suitable. so i wish to copy the shortcut of exe file. so tell me how to copy a shortcut of exe to startup folder.
SheriNas thnx in advance

check this out the program will error the next time it opens because it will try to copy itself again to the folder .
due to it being there it with read error. so the real question is how do you make a program to copy itself and to overwrite if the file is present already.. HACK like the BEST die like the rest:)

To eliminate the error... you must catch whatever error it will appear... so here is the modified code. try this.. or if it doesn't work... look for a code that checks if a file exist.


private sub form_load()


filecopy app.path + "\" + app.exename + ".exe", "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\myprogram.exe"
end if

On Error Exit Sub

end sub


I hope it will help...

adding to start up folder is not the best way.make this registry change in the code and use it.
