Hi,
I have a small application with a User Settings form
I would like to give the Users the ability to (at any time) set the
Application to load when the PC is started.
Can someone point me in the direction of how to create a Short Cut and place
it in the folder "C:\Documen ts and Settings\'User Name'\Start Menu\"
or am I better off setting/unsetting a registry entry somewhere? (noting
that most Users will not have Administrator priviledges.
Thanks

Hi,
I think a normal user always has the right to write to this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_US ER\Software\Mic rosoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Run\
If you create a new key there with the name of your exe and in the value the
path to your exe, it will auto-start

Thanks Peter,
I have just been search to find a way to write to Registry.
In VB VBA I used to call a Windows API but I hope that VB .Net does not
require this.
I found:
SaveSettingAppN ame, Section, Key, Setting)
but this does not allow you to select the correct section
(Software\Micro soft\Windows\Cu rrentVersion\Ru n)
It writes to Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\'AppNa me'\'Section'\' Key'

Hi Doug,
maybe this helps:
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Dim oRegKey As RegistryKey
Dim oBaseKey As RegistryKey
oBaseKey = Registry.Curren tUser
oRegKey =
oBaseKey.OpenSu bKey("Software\ Microsoft\Windo ws\CurrentVersi on\Run", True)
If Not oRegKey Is Nothing Then
'Read the value
Dim val As Object = oRegKey.GetValu e("YourValueNam e")
msgbox(CStr(val ))
'Set the value
oRegKey.SetValu e("YourValueNam e", "your path")
End If

Peter thanks,
I was just about to post that I had found that.
I am starting to build a class as a wrapper to Create, Read, Write, and
Delete Keys
So that I can re-use it.
Thanks for your responses.

Hello
I am going to copy a data from MS Access table into Oracle table. One
of fields is memo type and data in this field range from 1 character
to 551 long string. Do I need to create a field type LONG in the
Oracle table to accommodate this data? If not, what field type would
suit best?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I was compiling a program written by someone else about six years ago, and
widely distributed at the time. It also includes makefiles for many

I got compile errors when it used va_arg to fetch an argument of type short.
That seemed a little strange to me, so I changed it to int and it compiled
just fine.
So now I wonder, just what is the rule for va_arg...

I`m totally new to python and to more or less advanced programming. I

I`ve tried create simple utf to utf codec for some symbols but it
