I am putting a key for my application to run at startup in
SOFTWARE\Micros oft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Run
My goal is to allow individual users to toggle this on and off, so I
was placing the key under CurrentUser.
However, I want the program to default to starting up for the user the
first time any user logs in after it is installed. In the past we had
installed the key under local machine, but this means that removing the
key as per one users request will affect all users.
Also I am not sure if users will always have permission to remove keys
from Local machine? This would make it impossible in some cases for a
user to disable the run at startup feature if the key was added to
local machine during installation.
So I am not sure the best way to handle this and was open to ideas that
will give me these things:
1. After installation by an administrator, the program will default to
starting up when any user logs in.
2. Each user can disable/enable the run at startup feature via an
options menu, and this option will be specific for each user.
Thanks in advance.

Keep the key in HKEY_CURRENT_US ER so that each individual user can turn it
off
The subkeys under HKEY_USERS contain the HKEY_CURRENT_US ER hive for each
user that has ever logged on to the system, as well as a default user
profile for any new users. When installing, simply enumerate all the subkeys
in HKEY_USERS and add the setting to each user you find there. That should
cause the default behaviour you want

That sounds good. Thanks.

I am having some problems with form creation & navigation in .NET. I have a sub main that calls my first form (login) using the application.run() method.

I tried declaring the form publicly outside of form1 but it still shuts down. I don't want to get into...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
