ok how would i add this little program to startup when i restart the computer..
Code:#include <isostream> #int main() { std::cout<<"hello world"<<std::end; return 0; } you will i laugh i know , but i am just trying to figure out how to add it so the exe will add to registry current version and startup by its self thanks
Put it in your startup group would be the easiest thing to do probably.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
no i need it so when its opened ...it puts the registry vaule in regedit

So you want something which worms it's way into the users registry so it restarts itself each time the program runs?

well not worms its way , just when you run this it adds a reg key to autostart when the computer starts....i am just experimenting
What final goal do you have in mind?Originally Posted by Anddos22
Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.
