Get program to copy itself into program files, then start on startup.
Hey everyone,
I'm a beginner windows programmer, but I'm trying to make a program that copies itself into the windows "Program Files" folder and run on startup.
This is a console program in c++ and I'm stuck.
I tried doing something like:
Code:
system("mkdir %programfiles%\\AntiLeetSpeak");
system("copy AntiLeetSpeak.exe %programfiles%\\AntiLeetSpeak\\AntiLeetSpeak.exe");
It copied the executable into the program files folder, but now I have no clue how to make it startup on system start.
I know you can place it in the registry (SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run) - but as far as that goes, I'm stuck...
