Automatic Startup
First post...
I dont know to much of the windows API "lingo" so i didnt get any good results with my search.
How can i set up my win32 application to automaticly run when windows finishes booting?
If this isnt a valid windows question feel free to move it to where its suposed to be :D

The simplest thing is to just put it into your startup group

Oh i didnt think of that, unfortunaly that now bring me to another question which is a little more complicated. I dont expect you to wite up all the code for me but hopefully help to understand how to do it.
I want to be able to check for a shortcut in this folder
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
and/ or create a shortcut of my application in that folder.
I would assume this is another win32 API Question?

I hope you're going to ask the user if they want to put your program into the "all users" startup group.

Do some digging around there.
There's almost certainly a registry entry or two which will tell you the name of the startup folder, even if there isn't a specific startup folder API.

Im still learning the basics of the windows API and all the extra code in those Threads confuses me, i understand what has to be done, but every example i have seen and searched for it different.
I dont want to edit the registy.
I dont supose there is any way some body could go threw it with me, i didnt want to post any questions in those threads, mainly because there dead and the rules of this forums says not to without a good reason.
