Hi hope i am writing in right section of the forum trying to create a registry for my C program which has an .exe . want to work on windows start. The program is a kind of firewall program closes ports and opens them only if they are opened from inside. And I want this to work for windows xp so thats why i am writing here any help would be welcomed.

you will probably get better response on the C/C++ board.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
If you want it work only for you,
Or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
If you want it works for everyone.
The Registry reference is here .
If the amount of info overwhelms you, please take into account you will only need three functions for your required task:
RegCreateKeyEx()
RegSetValueEx()
RegCloseKey()
Hope this helps.
Damn it, I still dream of her....:(
Moved to C++
Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.
Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
Good starting places: Gentoo Novell SUSE Fedora Core Apple
