I am new to coding in vb.net and I am trying to add a registry value in
the runonce key. The key is added correctly, as I can see it when
going directly into the registry after executing my code, but when I
reboot, the value (aka the .cmd file) is not executed and the string
value is not deleted from the registry (at
HKLM\Software\M icrosoft\Window s\CurrentVersio n\RunOnce).
Here is the code I am using to create the key:
Dim key As Microsoft.Win32 .RegistryKey =
Microsoft.Win32 .Registry.Local Machine.OpenSub Key("SOFTWARE\M icrosoft\Window s\CurrentVersio n\RunOnce",
True)
key.SetValue("M WAClean", "c:\sma\mwaclea n\mwaclean.cmd" )
Is there something wrong with the code I'm using to create the key that
is not allowing XP to see it on startup...or is there something else
going on here with windows????
Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Try putting the execution of the .cmd in a .bat file and add that to the
registry RunOnce.
That way you can debug the batch file when the system reboots by using echo
commands.

You've pretty much established that your vb.net code is ok.
You may need to include a link to cmd.exe or %comspec% to precede your
command string.

Hi,
Once an assembly has been downloaded into the GAC, is it possible to
execute it locally somehow? e.g. if I download an exe into the GAC,
can the client PC simply run this assembly directly, rather than going
back to the URL that it downloaded the assembly from?
Additionally, is there a way to execute local assemblies on startup?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I have a project, that doesn't appear to process frmMain at all - I break at

I have tried having frmMain as my startup object, and also
Dim frmy As New frmMain

But my frmMain appears, without going thru the form_load.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

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,...
