// Add the application to the registry...
procedure DoAppToRunOnce(RunName, AppName: string);
var
Reg: TRegistry;
begin
Reg := TRegistry.Create;
with Reg do
begin
RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
OpenKey('Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce', True);
WriteString(RunName, AppName);
CloseKey;
Free;
end;
end;
// Check if the application is in the registry...
function IsAppInRunOnce(RunName: string): Boolean;
var
Reg: TRegistry;
begin
Reg := TRegistry.Create;
with Reg do
begin
RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
OpenKey('Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce', False);
Result := ValueExists(RunName);
CloseKey;
Free;
end;
end;
// Remove the application from the registry...
procedure DelAppFromRunOnce(RunName: string);
var
Reg: TRegistry;
begin
Reg := TRegistry.Create;
with Reg do
begin
RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
OpenKey('Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce', True);
if ValueExists(RunName) then DeleteValue(RunName);
CloseKey;
Free;
end;
end;
Applications under the key "Run" will be executed
each time the user logs on.
// Add the application to the registry...
procedure DoAppToRun(RunName, AppName: string);
var
Reg: TRegistry;
begin
Reg := TRegistry.Create;
with Reg do
begin
RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
OpenKey('Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', True);
WriteString(RunName, AppName);
CloseKey;
Free;
end;
end;
// Check if the application is in the registry...
function IsAppInRun(RunName: string): Boolean;
var
Reg: TRegistry;
begin
Reg := TRegistry.Create;
with Reg do
begin
RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
OpenKey('Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', False);
Result := ValueExists(RunName);
CloseKey;
Free;
end;
end;
// Remove the application from the registry...
procedure DelAppFromRun(RunName: string);
var
Reg: TRegistry;
begin
Reg := TRegistry.Create;
with Reg do
begin
RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
OpenKey('Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', True);
if ValueExists(RunName) then DeleteValue(RunName);
CloseKey;
Free;
end;
end;
Usage Examples:
// Add app,
DoAppToRun('Programm', 'C:\Programs\XYZ\Program.exe');
// Is app there ?
if IsAppInRun('Programm') then...
// Remove app,
DelAppFromRun('Programm');
