c＃设置程序以使用注册表启动并在启动时启动，并使用复选框修改选项

Question

I know how to tell the registy to run my app on startup. There are a lot of threads about it. I used this one: How do I set a program to launch at startup . The problem I face is: I give the user the option to disable/enable this option when the user uninstall, there is a key left in the registry that tells the app to run (although the app was already uninstalled)

I know I can handle it by a shortcut in the startup folder, but I tried it already and I have problem with it too. Thanks Eli

Answer 1

To remove the entry in the registry you should instruct your installation program to remove the registry value.

If you are using the build in installation project in VS you could do that by implementing the Uninstall event.

If it is a click once installation you just have to ignore it.

Simple solution without using Custom Actions I just added a registry Key by the Registry editor until I got to the Run folder and added to it the value "name of my app" (on the right panel) and I didn't wrote a path just left it "" I played with the checkbox (add key, delete key) and even though I left it with the key. when I uninstalled it was gone.
