Getting Startup Location In Windows?

Sep 3, 2011

I've written a small program to open at startup, but I want to give the user the ability to delete it from showing on startup by clicking a button.But it needs to be compatible on XP, Vista and Windows 7. Is there a line of code which will get the default startup folder path automatically so I can then delete it using my button?

Hide Form On Startup If App Occurred Because Of Windows Startup?

Jun 20, 2010

I can hide my startup form (or make it appear hidden) on startup. I can start my app on windows startup--through registry values--if the user checks a checkbox.

But if the app starts up on windows startup, I want the form to be hidden, so the program can just keep working without bothering anyone. If it starts up because the user started it, I want the form to be showing, because the user probably wants to change some settings or something.

Forms :: Resize Form And All Controls In Proportion To Their Startup Size / Location

Jan 5, 2012

I have been searching for a solution to this but I can't find one. I have played with the anchor and dock properties but they are not doing what I want, so here goes... I would like to place and size all of my controls on my form and then when the form is re-sized during run time (different resolutions, full screen/windowed, etc), have everything just scale up or down accordingly. Anchoring the controls to all four sides of my form re-sizes the control properly but it doesn't move it's location in sync with the other control's size next to it, they begin to overlap each other. Am I going to have to code my own scaling code for each control in my program?

VS 2010 - Application To Run On Windows Startup

Apr 2, 2012

I developed an application in Visual Basic 2010 Express which has two features:

1) It is portable and uses some .dlls which must be in the same folder
2) Requires Administrator in order to run

I want my application to run on windows startup. So i created the registry string value and made some tests that gave me the following results:

1) Windows XP -> Runs on startup without any errors
2) Windows 7 Starter -> It simply ignores my application
3) Windows 7 Premium -> The run confirmation box from unknown publisher appeared and when i selected to run, AVG gave a virus warning
4) Windows 8 Consumer Preview -> It simply ignores my application

C# - Automatically Run Program On Windows Server Startup?

May 13, 2011

I'm trying to install an app on a windows server that is always on, but I'm running into problems. I've heard that I shouldn't make it a windows service (and would personally rather have a dialog app so I can see progress, etc) so I'm trying to use task scheduler. However, task scheduler keeps trying to close my app prematurely when it should only open it and leave it open.how I could have a dialog app run on startup (and stay running) on my server?

__CxxFrameHandler3 During Windows XP Startup, After Product Installation?

Oct 8, 2009

Some software was installed on 8 XPSP2 PCs at 3 seperate times. 3 of the PCs, after installation, were restarted as per the installation instructions.When restarted, Windows XP displayed an error:The procedure entry point ___CxxFrameHandler3 could not be located in the dynamic link library Msvcrt.dll. and Windows will not start. (nor in Safemode)The problem I am having is that Msvcrt.dll is not shipped with the program, and from my research it is related to C++. The program is written in VB6 so I am confused.It could just be a coinsidence, but it only happens after the installation has told the user to restart the computer, so must be directly related to the installation. However, if the installation files were wrong or corrupt, NO installations would work correctly and we would have a problem on all of the PCs.

Force Prompt For Windows Login On WinForms Startup?

Dec 9, 2008

Is there a way to force the Windows Login prompt, just like in web applications, in the startup of a WinForms application (see attached image)?I'm creating a WinForms app that is going to use NT Authentication, but some machines in the company are shared, and logged in with a common login account.I don't want my app to run under the Identity of the common login account. Rather,I want to use Impersonation and prompt for the user to enter their actual domain account name and password.Googling for this in the context of a WinForms application has produces curiously useless results so far.

VS 2008 : Slow Execution Speed During Windows Startup?

Mar 30, 2009

For some reason, .NET applications that I've written seem to have issues if they're launched when Windows starts (by being in the Startup folder for instance). An application that can finish in 3/10 of a second if one launches it normally may seriously take 45-90 seconds to finish if it was launched when Windows loads. Even if I just manually wait 30 seconds after login and launch the program, it'll complete virtually instantly while a copy launched at startup is still struggling along, so it isn't just that Windows is still loading...this continues AFTER that finishes and all HDD activity stops.Writing something to disk using an IO.anything goes at about 20KB/s during this event.
