I’m creating a Win32 program that will be executed every time the computer turns

  • 0

I’m creating a Win32 program that will be executed every time the computer turns on. I manage to do this by adding the .exe path into the registry. The problem is; I want to make the program appear minimized in the system tray when the computer is turned on but if I double click it [after the computer turns on and the program is not currently running] the program should appear on its normal [maximized] size.

Question, I was thinking on whether is was possible to pass an argument to the program when the program is executed from the registry. Is this possible? If yes/no, how would I manage to do this?

(Using windows XP) Thanks.

    Even if it’s not possible to launch your program with command line arguments from the registry, you can use a batch script to do so. Just create a batch script that launches your program with the appropriate arguments, and use the registry to run that batch script instead.
