Add RegistryRunOnce Entry

[NewsArchive]

Client wants the app to auto-run when computer restarts. I used the Add
RegistryRunOnce Entry function after the install portion. I think this
may be a bit too early in the boot process as on my machine, MSSQL has
not even started (that will produce errors! <g>)

Is there a way to start an app late in the boot process?

If the "Run" or "RunOnce" (starts the program only once!) registry entries
are too early in the boot sequence, perhaps you can add a Shortcut to the
Startup folder? The Startup folder contains shortcuts to those items that
need to be launched whenever Windows starts.

I did add that, but the client kept claiming the program was starting
twice. I'll do that again if its really starting too early.
