recommended way to autoStart an app

based on a previous thread, i've been advised that using the system registry
isn't always the best way to store user config details (due to portability
issues). from my understanding, however, registry is usually used to
autoStart an app. is there a better way to go about autoStaring an app,
then?

Hi Dica,
if the application is on your local hard disk, simply move a link into your
Autostart-Folder.

If the Application should autostart from a cd or any other removable device,
look at

I didn´t find a native .net-methode, so you must use a wrapper. Until now, i
haven´t done such a thing, maybee this

How can I tell a setup project to put a file to the startup folder of a user only when he selected this option. To give the user the possibility to select this option I´ve inserted a two radio button dialog to my setup project. The button property is called AUTOSTART. I´ve set the Condition of the "User´s Startup Folder" to AUTOSTART but that seems not to be the right way... Any help or ideas? Thanks really a lot! Greetings,
