I want to be able to make my programme create a folder on startup. Basically by that, I mean whenever the programme is started up on a new machine, it will create a specific folder that later on, it can put files into.Also does anybody know how I can stop it from doing this every-time on a machine that its already created the folder on?

I have done quite a few google searches and have found nothing to interesting or useful but I did find out that there is two main ways of doing this registry or startup folder and im more pulled into the startup folder because I dont think that I yet know enough about controlling the registry to be confident of using code like that, so I fall to my other alternative using the startup folder to trigger my program, I read somewhere that this doessn not work for vista but im not sure of that. What I would like to as is how you actually create a shortcut as I cant really understand VB6 Code very well its all I could find.
i want the program to run on startup using the startup folder, NOT the registry.i cannot find anything on the startup folder.whenever people ask about the startup folder, all the replies are about the registry. i am beginning to think that the startup folder is some kind of government secret.
View 1 RepliesI was having trouble before editing the registry on a WPF application I'm working on, in order to get autostart to work, so I ended up creating a shortcut in the startup folder to automatically start the application. My problem is, that this not working on Windows 7 (and Im guessing Vista too). Here's my code. Does Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup not work on Windows 7?
Dim PathToStartupFolder As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup)
If File.Exists(PathToStartupFolder & "Application.Exe.LNK") = False Then
Dim ShellObject As New IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell
[code]....
how can I get the shared startup folder? My application is set to add a shortcut to the startup folder, but it isnly for that user, and I'd like it to automatically start for any user on the machine.I know you can do this by adding a registry key, but I'm having trouble getting my registry key code to work in this WPF app.

I'm trying to write a small script that will copy a folder (named .minecraft) to a new folder (doesn't exist, but I want to create a new folder called .minecraft_backups). The current code I have is:
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("%appdata%/.minecraft", "%appdata%/.minecraft_backups", True)
I get an error saying: Could not find directory '%appdata%/.minecraft'. I'm guessing it's because of the %appdata% shortcut. Is there any workaround to do this? The reason for this is because obviously if I don't enter %appdata% and enter the full route to the directory I need to enter the users username for the computer.

So you search for the name of the directory, not the files in the directory.For example: 'KTNPRK' in E: gives:E:KTNPRK1, E:AZNKTNPR76, etc...
