Form only show once

How can i make it so a form will only show the very first time the program is run as a whole?

Look for a known value in the registry. If you don't find it, then show the form and write in the value you look for. The next time it launches you will find that value, so you know you've opened that form at some time in the past.

by the way incase someone didnt know virtualize means make portable by putting it in a virtual enviormens, that means no regestry and what not because next time its run it mite be interacting with a different registery.

any other ideas
