Put it in the list of startup applications on installation.

like I said I want to make function that does it.

And one more question:

How I'm going to test this while compiling and debugging,it's going to make registry entry each time I run it and mess my registry completely?

That's indeed a possibility. Perhaps you can write an extra function in tour program for debugging purpose that deletes the created keys on program exit/start ?

Is this the only option?

You could manually change them back?

You could test your program on a Virtual Machine. If it messes something, you should be able to just start up a new machine image. My IT consultant does it all the time. Don't ask me how.
