Thread: Startup using STARTUP folder method for winXP & win98

hi, i m creating a proggy that starts up using startup folder method, not using the registry method in this case
i understand that the startup folder for winxp and win98 are different
how do i make a proggy that works for these 2 platforms?

using the API

CopyFile("current_dir","%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup",FALSE);

doesnt give me the result i want in win98 and winXP
the file doesnt copy
is there an API that retrives the path to the startup folder?

your assistance please :wave:

Code:

// Include shlobj.h and link with shell32.lib
#include <shlobj.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "shell32.lib")

TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH];
SHGetSpecialFolderPath(NULL, szPath, CSIDL_STARTUP, TRUE);

that's great help, thx!
