VB Win startup
hello, i was wondering if there was a very simple way in which i can ask windows to load up my VB6 exe program on startup. the way i would like to do it is through code. i want to write some code which will allow me to somehow tell windows to load the program on startup. is this possible. are there any other ways.
i am making a simple program which once run should next time load up automatically. can anyone help?

Thanx

Well there's really only a few ways to have any program startup when Windows starts up. 1) Put it in the autostartup section of the registry or 2) Put it in the startup folder in Windows. This is for versions of Windows below 2000. I'm not sure about 2000 and up but I imagine it will be the same.
