what do you mean by self running ?

If you are trying the program run automatically then create a windows service using .net

you must access registry to do this or put the program on startup program..

the easiest way is put the program on startup program, you can access this as special folder with vb

try this following code to copy your program to startup program, but the program must running once to do this. there is none code to make your program running by it self without running before. just one time running and it will running by windows cause windows will running all program in startup program.

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim mShell
Dim path As String
Set mShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
path = mShell.Specialfolders("Startup")
FileCopy App.EXEName & ".exe", path & "\YourNewRunFileName.exe"
End Sub

for auto running for your program

you have use boot.ini file of window

you have to make changes in window registry

i think you have use a specific event of your progrm with timer in and out event
