1. Startup on Windows NT

Hi,

Is there anyone here know how can I call up a program during the startup time in
Windows NT.  I'm not talking about the Startup Folder.  I know that there maybe a
file similar to the DOS/Windows 3.1 that can put startup programms in.

Thanks!

There is a registry key that lets you do that.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Place the path to your program in there and it should start it.

Placing an entry under this particular registry key tells NT to run the
program during logon.  To clarify, it will run the program during *every*
logon - not just at boot time.

To have NT run a program during startup, you have to install the program as
an NT service.  I can't remember it's name, but I believe there's a utility
in the Resource Kit that lets a normal program run as a service.

Good luck...
