Hi,

I am trying to get my win app to have an option to start automatically, by adding it to the startup menu. The user has an option to delete the startup and to add it.

I have the following code which works with Windows 7 but gives an error with windows XP. All I can find is that XP uses a different version of shell.

Can anyone tell me how I can get this working on XP please?

private void chkStartUp_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (chkStartUp.Checked == true)
    {
        WshShellClass wshShell = new WshShellClass();
        IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut shortcut;
        string startUpFolderPath =
          Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup);

        // Create the shortcut
        shortcut =
          (IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut)wshShell.CreateShortcut(
            startUpFolderPath + "\\" +
            Application.ProductName + ".lnk");

        shortcut.TargetPath = Application.ExecutablePath;
        shortcut.WorkingDirectory = Application.StartupPath;
        shortcut.Description = "Launch MyApp";
        // shortcut.IconLocation = Application.StartupPath + @"\App.ico";
        shortcut.Save();

    }
    else
    {
        string startUpFolderPath =  Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup);

        DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(startUpFolderPath);
        FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles("*.lnk");
        foreach (FileInfo fi in files)
        {
            if (fi.ToString() == Application.ProductName + ".lnk")
            {
                string shortcutTargetFile = GetShortcutTargetFile(fi.FullName);
                System.IO.File.Delete(fi.FullName);
            }
        }

    }
}
