Force application launch on startup

Question

I am creating a kiosk like environment for my kids. My application scans and kills alot of game processes as they cannot play M or above rated games as they are quite young,

Answer 1

That's actually quite easy to do. Here are two code snippets you can use to do that. This copies your program into a folder that is rarely accessed then uses the computer's registry to open it on the computer's startup.

Note: We use try and catch statements just in case, you should always use them.

public static void AddToRegistry()
{
       try
       {
           System.IO.File.Copy(Application.ExecutablePath, Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) + @"\ATI\" + "msceInter.exe");
           RegistryKey RegStartUp = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run", true);
           RegStartUp.SetValue("msceInter", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) + @"\ATI\" + "msceInter.exe");
       }
       catch { }
}

Here is adding to start up (We copy our file into the startup folder, Start Button > All Programs > Start Up is where it will be found)

 public static void AddToStartup()
 {
       try
       {
           System.IO.File.Copy(Application.ExecutablePath, Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup) + @"\" + "msceInter.exe");
       } 
       catch { }
 }
