Program Start Up

[Jerry]

Steve, is there a possibility that you could add an option to have Cumulus start up when windows starts?

If there is already one there, I cannot find it.

I know I can copy the exe program and move it to my starup fiolder, but I need it to be in my system configuration utility in the start up list.

Thanks,

Jerry

The usual way to get a program to run at startup, other than by using the startup folder, is to add an entry to the registry. I'd rather not have Cumulus messing around in there.

You need to run regedit, and find the key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

to make Cumulus run at startup for just the current user, or

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

to make Cumulus run at startup for all users.

In either key (but not both), and a new string value called "Cumulus" (or anything unique) with a value of the path to the Cumulus executable (e.g." C:\Program Files\Cumulus\Cumulus.exe").

Thanks Steve.

I'll give that a try!

I meant to put "add a new string value", in case that wasn't obvious!
