I've looked and haven't found a way to tell the installer to set the installed software to start with Windows. I'm VERY new at this. I just downloaded the software tonight and already have a great setup made. You guys who make this software are great!
If anyone knows how to do this, would you please let me know? I'm guessing it's pretty easy. I just don't know where to find the right tweaks.
thanks

Thanks for the link. Not much help though. I did get it to work and I'll share what values need to be where.
Root Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Sub key:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Value Name: (whatever name you want the key to be)
My Program Name
Value Data:
C:\Program Files (x86)\My_Company\My_Software\My_Software.exe
Root Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Sub key:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Value Name: (whatever name you want the key to be)
My Program Name
Value Data:
C:\Program Files (x86)\My_Company\My_Software\My_Software.exe

Re: How to make your app start with windows?
I'm trying to do the same thing and have used the same parameters that you posted but it doesn't work. I basically want to add a shortcut of the app to the StartUp folder so the app will launch automatically on start-up. But there isn't an option to add a short-cut to the Start-Up folder.
